Reform the Honours system to reflect modern society and not cronyism
The Honours system is discredited and has too much political input.
The recent 2016 honours had a knighthood for the Tory election strategist for instance yet Simon Weston receives a lower CBE for 33 years of selfless work for charity. Let's put an end to cronyism and "British Empire" references.
