Remove all Bishops from the House of Lords


The UK is a Christian minority country; for the first time, the census in England and Wales reflects this - there is no reasonable justification in a fair democracy for bishops to vote on laws in the House of Lords.

This is an undemocratic and unusual practice. The only country other than the UK to appoint clerics to its legislature is Iran.

Public institutions should be inclusive and representative of the UK's diverse society, without giving special privileges to members of one faith.
