Background
Specifically exclude all serving elected politicians from being nominated or receiving honours. Nominations should only be allowed for Non political reasons unless for a reward of long service upon retirement. The honours system has been used as a system of bribes and a way to buy loyalty and this dishonours the whole system and brings it into disrepute.
