But, over half of the politicians in the UK parliament aren't elected at all. • The UK's upper house , the House of Lords, although similar in some ways to the US Senate, continues to operate on a system which brings together political patronage, religious privilege, and even inherited political power. • But that could be about to change. The incoming Labour Party government under Keir Starmer has promised significant reform to the House of Lords. • But, how do those who sit within it feel? • Join me as I venture inside the House of Parliament to ask a Baron, two Baronesses, and an Earl what they think. • Support my work on Patreon at / tomnicholas • Twitch: / tom_nicholas • Twitter: / tom_nicholas • Instagram: / tomnicholaswtf • Patreon: / tomnicholas • Website: http://www.tomnicholas.com • Select footage courtesy of Getty • Music from Epidemic Sound
