Wait does that mean that Zara and Peter jump above Andrew in the line of succession?

[x_butterfly19_x]

I do believe so

[lozbabie]

Lool. I'm imagining the epic tantrum that Andrew is throwing right now.

[x_butterfly19_x]

LOL I know. It may take a while to implement though, there is no one piece of legislation that must be tweaked in order to implement the changes - rather a whole load of of old laws need to to be reviewed.

Good to know Harper is focusing on the really pressing women's rights issues.

Mark Harper is in charge of Constitutional Reform, not equality. That's Lynne Featherstone, who's doing wonderful things - pushing for the legalisation of same sex marriage, for one.

I think she meant Stephen Harper, the asshat PM of Canada.

Was in really the Lib Dems, though? Good for them <3

[polietics]

Yep, Lib Dem pledge (I know that means dirt, but hey - some of them do get through).

God, my responses are articulate.
I do believe this is an important step, because if there is to be a Monarchy at all it ought to be an equal one.

Wow, that is the second time this week I am reading and thinking about absolute primogeniture. Weird.
