Twitter poll results: peers should be able to vote in general elections

Thanks to everyone who took part in our Twitter mini-poll last week on the question:

Do you agree with the members of the House of Lords who are demanding the right to vote in general elections?

The result is:

Yes 70% (49 votes)
No 30% (21 votes)

… and not one person picked “Don’t know”. Give yourselves a pat on the back for decisiveness.

The answer is yes, as soon as the House of Lords is abolished and replaced with a fully elected second chamber.
Funny you didn’t offer that as an option.
