Re: The House of Lords
The simple solution would be to draw from a hat one person's name, derived from the electoral register, from each of the parliamentary constituencies in the UK. Let 'em serve for two years or so then never again; that way you would get a truly representatine cross-section of the populace of Britain.
We'd have 'em all, from feminists and village idiots through pub drunks to teachers and lawyers, all in roughly the same proportion. It would certainly be far more democratic than the stinking, rotten political monopoly we have now.
