Tbf alba and Isp haven't been around long enough so wouldn't have them on any list like this. Do the Scottish greens have any? If not surely a truer representative of long term parties

What’s that as a percentage of total Lords, there must be around 700 lords or so!

805. There are also 10 Scottish non-affiliated crossbenchers and 1 Ukip (Lord Pearson of Rannoch), so I'd guess about 7.5%.
92 of the 805 are the hereditary peers Labour intend to remove.
Should be abolished entirely - like they promised...
