The vast majority of countries that used to have this problem addressed it by abolishing the peerage entirely The idea that this is some difficult pie in the sky task and we need to make a gender neutral peerage as an intermediate step is fucking laughablehttps://twitter.com/SophieRunning/status/1327884125634703363 …

Yeah, and I mean, look, if there was a bill in Commons to do it, and I was the deciding vote, I don't think I'd say no in some kind of accelerationist ideal. But the improvement is tiny, and the only thing that matters is ditching Lords.

I would make peerages freely alienable though, like the land itself. That's my move as an accelerationist.

A movement to *get* people to care would, in fact, be diverting people's attitudes and energies in a dangerous direction People currently don't care because they don't think the Lords matter and they don't think they should matter Arguing this matters is arguing the HoL matters

By arguing for anything less than abolition they are essentially arguing FOR the legitimacy of the peerage as a ruling class. its rather shocking that ANYONE is ok with hereditary aristocracy in this day and age.
