Revise the Honours system.

Closed 33 signatures

What the petition asks

A cross-party body be set up to radically review the UK Honours system and replace it with one that works according to widely supported criteria and does not reward people for their political allegiances.
Transparent and publicly supported criteria for awarding honours are required which reward people for services to community, the economy, country, mankind and the natural world, but not solely for political allegiance.
