End all non royal inherited titles such as Duke, Earl etc

Petition Details

Discontinue official recognition and use of non royal hereditary and courtesy titles and abolish all their legal privileges

Additional Information

In the modern era it is inappropriate that a small class of individuals is afforded preferential treatment and respect by being allowed to deploy honours they have not earned but simply obtained through birth. It also devalues the efforts of those granted similar honours on merit.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about inherited titles, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do, and in particular what "legal privileges" you want to be removed.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
