Which group of members is NOT elected by the general public in the House of Lords?

Life peers are individuals appointed to the House of Lords rather than being elected by the general public. They are typically appointed for their expertise or contributions to society and hold their titles for life, although their titles cannot be inherited. This system helps to ensure that members possess the necessary knowledge and experience to contribute meaningfully to the legislative process.

In contrast, the House of Commons is fully elected by the public, and elected hereditary peers are a specific group of hereditary peers who have been allowed to remain in the House after reform, but they are still elected by their fellow hereditary peers. Judges of the Supreme Court are appointed based on their professional qualifications and experience and are not elected by the public. Thus, life peers stand out as the group in the House of Lords that does not receive their position through public election.
