New Poll Shows Most Brits Support Removing Bishops (And Their Votes) From The House of Lords
Efforts to completely sever the Church of Anglican from the British government continue to bend to that inevitable end after a new YouGov poll found that only 22% of Britons support ending the presence and power of the House of Lords in the legislative process.
Because Anglicanism is the official state religion of the United Kingdom, the Church of England is given certain privileges, including automatically granting 26 Bishops a seat in the House of Lords- the upper house of the Parliament- and therefore being able to influence legislation.
The Humanists UK notes that the UK and Iran are the only sovereign states in the world where clerics hold voting rights in their legislatures, and that “bishops get unique easy access to Government officials, if a bishop stands up to speak then the convention is that everyone else has to stop and sit down, and the bishops’ votes on new laws have been decisive in instances that have benefited the Church.”
Late last year, liberal Democrat lawmaker Paul Scriven introduced a private members bill known as The Disestablishment of the Church of England, which had a first reading but has seen little other movement.
The Church of England recently voted to start blessing same-sex marriages in a desperate bid for relevancy and in complete capitulation to the devil himself at a time when less than half of the population of the UK no longer consider themselves Christian. Only 0.8% attend a Church of England church on a weekly basis.

I never realized the bishops got that powerful of a role in government. This is to their greater shame because they could have passed laws punishing the LGBTQP+ activists and preventing the Pakistani and Indian takeover of the country. Hell will be even hotter for them due to having had the power to do what is right at a governmental level and then deciding to vote in Satan’s agenda instead.
