i voted yes to about half of them.

it must come as quite a shock for the lords to learn that most brits actually don't want them, cause it simply is not democratic.

i would submit a few more proposals myself:
- disestablish the church of england
- abolish the monarchy. let 'em keep all their palaces and whatnot, just take away their political power and don't throw anymore tax money at them.
- somewhat related to above: for all commonwealth countries, give them a nice fat referendum on what they want to happen to their political system
- stop giving undeserved privileges to religion (tax breaks, tax funding, automatic seats in parliament, control over thousands of schools)

You'd probably find the house of lords is more popular than the Commons right now.

The monarchy doesn't really have any political power anymore, its more of a tourism thing nowadays.

I don't see what dismantling the commonwealth would achieve either, if a country wanted out, it would do so.

However i do agree with you on the two points on religion. Religion is one of the main problems in the world today.
