Honours System

Parliamentary Yearbook Shares Information: There is a process for considering who "merits" an award.  Should there not be an official "devil's advocate" to scrutinize all those recommended for an award, especially when it comes to Knighthoods and peerages?

Another point, why does the "ultimate" award (a peerage) automatically lead the recipient into the legislature?  Should peerages not be in two classes, one involving elevation to the Lords and one simply being an award for services?

My own preference of course is to dump the whole shitty system, including gallantry awards.





Parliamentary Yearbook Shares Information: The honours system needs to be greatly reformed. The sheer number of honours doled out needs to reduced by about 90% and the decision as to who gets them needs to be removed from the hands of the most corrupt group of people in the country - politicians.

Oh and the right of recipients of certain honours to a life long seat in parliament certainly needs to be reformed.
