[MR] 4th Peerage

[Alan MacNeill]

Like it or not...there are those who say that one must be a Peer to be a leader.

Consider the recent unpleantness....is it a Pan-populace petition?
No, it is a Pan-Peerage petition, with a "Oh, you're not a peer, fill
out this form and the BoD might care" option only put in by apparent
insistence by our Crowns (thank you for that btw).

Consider the current BoD...all members are Peers.  Looking at the list
of nominees...the vast majority...Peers.

Peerage has power.  To deny a group of people it because the activity
they do doesn't fit with the current peerages is incorrect.  Likewise,
to attempt to redefine one of the existing Peerages to encompass the
new activity is also incorrect.
