Nigel Farage has requested the Prime Minister allow him to appoint peers to the House of Lords, arguing that current representation does not reflect democratic votes. Reform currently has four MPs and manages ten councils but lacks representation in the Lords. Farage states that parties with fewer MPs have more peers, highlighting the disparities with the Green Party and Liberal Democrats. He emphasizes the significant support for his party, with over 4.1 million votes in the 2024 general election and a leading position in opinion polls, advocating for urgent reform to the upper chamber.
