Wonder if that would appeal? Would resolve two issues in one, an elected second house and that house having PR so being representative.

It'd appeal to me.
All three main parties are in favour of reforming the House of Lords & creating an elected upper house (well, " "work to build a consensus" for a mainly-elected House of Lords" in the case of the Tories, while of course Labour could have done more during its 13 years...).
