The Succession to Peerages and Baronetcies Bill is a proposed law of the #ParliamentOfTheUnitedKingdom introduced on 20 November 2023 by #LordNorthbrook. The Bill proposes to change the law about #hereditaryPeerages and #baronetcies by removing male #primogeniture to allow female heirs to take a hereditary peerage or baronetcy. This is another attempt by a Bill to serve this purpose. If enacted, it would align the hereditary peerage and baronetcy to the same laws of #successionAsTheCrown.
Another #NewYearsHonoursList, another round of outmoded mutual back slapping, and self-congratulation.
An antiquated system, that like the #LordsSpiritual, #HereditaryPeerages, and the #Monarchy, need to be abolished
This is not a complete list of reforms I'd like to see in the UK, but it is a good start.
