Equality for Women in the Peerage
(This should be in Department for Women & Equalities but it is not in the drop down, why??)
This petition supports Equality for Women in the Peerage [Lord Lucas bill in the Lords, Mary MacLeod's bill in the Commons]
We want an end to the sexist anachronism of older girls being born 'less than' their younger brothers.
We support the inheritance of the first-born whether male OR female in the same way the royal family now does. The Swedes started it, then the Danes followed & more recently the Spanish followed. Now it is the turn of the UK to wake up & smell the 21st century.
Like corruption, fairness trickles down from the top & the peerage must modernise.
Unlike Inequality, Equality Never Hurts Anyone.

Removed at request of petitioner.
Please ensure that any revised petition is submitted to Office of the Leader of the House of Commons as the responsible department.
