(Stewart Baker)

The British Commonwealth has endorsed an end to the traditional preference for sons over daughters in royal succession.  Said British Prime Minister David Cameron, "The idea that a younger son should become monarch instead of an elder daughter simply because he's a man … this way of thinking is at odds with the modern countries that we've all become."

So, instead of letting its ruler be determined by an accident of biology, the UK will now choose its ruler based on … a different accident of biology.
