Guardian's month-long investigation into the Lords
The Guardian has begun a month's worth of stories looking closely at the House of Lords, and already the findings have been shocking.
Read the articles on the Guardian's website
Revelations show how important a House of Citizens and the 858 project is. Just getting rid of the last hereditary peers doesn't go far enough to fix the Lords.
--One in 10 Lords get paid to give political advice.
--A Labour peer offered access to ministers.
--Multiple peers are being paid by foreign governments and repressive regimes.
--More than £1 in every £14 donated to political parties since 2001 came from those who have sat as peers in the last Parliament.

How a New Global Citizens’ Assembly Can Revive Climate Action
