  1. The #UK is ejecting hereditary #nobles from #Parliament after 700 years

    By Jill Lawless, March 11, 2026

    Excerpt: "Centuries of British political tradition will end within weeks after Parliament voted to remove hereditary #aristocrats from the unelected House of Lords.

    "On Tuesday night members of the upper chamber dropped objections to legislation passed by the House of Commons ousting dozens of #dukes, #earls and #viscounts who inherited seats in Parliament along with their aristocratic titles.

    "Government minister Nick Thomas-Symonds said the change put an end to 'an archaic and undemocratic principle.'

    " 'Our parliament should always be a place where talents are recognized and merit counts,' he said. 'It should never be a gallery of old boys’ networks, nor a place where titles, many of which were handed out centuries ago, hold power over the will of the people.' "
