A personal proposal for reform would give a quarter of House of Lords seats to hereditary peers, half to life peers, and a quarter to elected members. Life peers would be nominated for service to the nation, including former armed-forces chiefs and senior judges. Each elected peer would represent an area made from four Commons constituencies and win through first-past-the-post voting. This proposed mixture would retain inherited and appointed membership while adding elected representation.
