Foreign media: The British Parliament voted to abolish hereditary peer seats in the House of Lords.

China News Agency, March 12th - According to reports from British media such as The Guardian and the BBC, the British Parliament has voted to abolish the seats of hereditary peers in the unelected House of Lords, marking the end of a seven-hundred-year-old political tradition within a few weeks.

According to the report, the members of the British House of Lords gave up their opposition to a piece of legislation passed by the House of Commons on the evening of the 10th. This bill will remove dozens of dukes, earls, and viscounts who have inherited parliamentary seats due to their noble titles from the parliament.

The report mentioned that the bill will come into effect after being approved by King Charles III — but this is merely a formality — hereditary peers will leave the House of Lords at the end of this parliamentary session in spring, thus completing this political process that began in 1999.
