First they came for Julian Assange
And I did not speak out
Because I was not Julian Assange
Then they came for the Palestinian journalists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Palestinian journalist
Then they came for the independent journalists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not an independent journalist
Then they came for the investigative journalists

Hereditary nobles have sat in Britain’s Parliament for centuries. Their time may be up

LONDON (AP) — Like his ancestors for centuries, the Earl of Devon serves in Parliament, helping to make the laws of the land. But not for much longer.

Is the House of Lords Democratic

British lawmakers voted Tuesday to approve in principle a bill to strip hereditary aristocrats of the right to sit and vote in the House of Lords after more than 700 years. The Labour Party government says the decision will complete a long-stalled reform of Parliament’s upper chamber and remove an “outdated and indefensible” relic of the past.

“In the 21st century, there should not be places in our Parliament, making our laws, reserved for those who are born into certain families,” Constitution Minister Nick Thomas-Symonds said Tuesday as he opened debate on the bill in the House of Commons.

He noted that Britain is one of only two countries — the other is Lesotho — with a hereditary element to its parliament.
