Reform UK leader Nigel Faraj has asked the Prime Minister to allow him to appoint colleagues at the House of Lords.
In a letter to Sir Kir Stmper, Faraj said that he wanted to address “democratic inequality” in the upper chamber, suggesting that it was unfair that it was unfairly represented as sides with less MPs.

Members of Lords are called Peer. Like MPs, they investigate the government’s work and recommend a change in the proposed law. Currently there are more than 800.
In his letter, Faraj said: “My party got more than 4.1 million votes in the general election in July 2024. We have since won a large number of seats in the local government, led the National Opinion Surveys for several months and won the only by -election of this Parliament.”
Faraj said that he was in favor of improving Lord’s, but that “the time has come to address the democratic inequality in the upper house”.
He said that the Green Party, Plade Simru and the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) are with 13 colleagues among them.
He also stated that Liberal Democrats have 76 companions with 76 companions compared to the improvement in the last election. Lib Dames currently holds 72 seats in the Commons, which makes them the third largest party after labor and conservatives.
“None of it keeps water, which now, looking at the seismic changes in British politics,” Faraj said.
Faraj said that his request to appoint colleagues was “modest”, but who would nominate it when he gave an opportunity to do so, did not underline it.
In May, reforms made widespread profit in local elections, as well as the Runcorn and Halesby by-Eating by just six votes.
