Yes - but it is meant to be deliberately backwards as a check and a balance. The idea is that if every law was made and passed by the currently elected politicians only then there’d be a flood of kneejerk reactionary populist laws only.

In general I’m not against how the lords operate - just pointing out these are specifically hereditary peers (of which there are 92) in addition to the life peers. Oh and the bishops, can’t forget the bishops.
