New changes in the line of succession to the throne change.
While parliamentarians quarrel over the Prime Minister's unitary project and the Conservative Party's reform proposals, the Royal Family scored a point with the approval, by 12 votes to 3 (and one abstention), of the institution of the so-called semi-salic law in succession to the throne of Ebenthal. For those who may not be familiar with the term, semi-salic law is a form of inheritance, or for that matter, succession to the throne, whereby all male individuals in line are preferred over female individuals. The semi-salic law is a version of the salic law, according to which no woman can inherit or succeed to the throne.
The proposed adoption of the law came directly from King Arthur II, who argued that the basis for adopting the law was the fact that his sisters have no interest in the succession to the throne, and his nieces are very young, as opposed to his three nephews, who are interested in Ebenthali micronationalism, to which they were introduced by himself, and are old enough to exercise their princely duties and potentially inherit the crown and throne of Ebenthal.
The royal proposal was opposed by the Worker's Party, whose three representatives in the House of Councillors called a step backwards and met the constitutional grounds of equality provided for in the constitution, having called the semi-salic law misogynist. The former prime minister and now leader of the opposition, the Countess de Wittiza, has spoken that she would take the matter to the Tribune of Truth. With the adoption of the Semi Salic Law, the line of succession to the throne of Ebenthal now looks like this: 1. Heitor, Prince of Bruges (King's nephew, son of his older sister) 2. Prince Lorenzo of Ebenthal (King's nephew, son of his second sister) 3. Prince Theo of Ebenthal (King's nephew, son of his third sister) 4. Princess Élida of Ebenthal (King's older sister) 5. Princess Laíze of Ebenthal (King's second sister) 6. Princess Eleine of Ebenthal (King's third sister)
7. Princess Alice of Ebenthal (King's niece, son of his third sister - above)
8. Princess Lara of Ebenthal (King's niece, son of his third sister) 9. Princess Laura of Ebenthal (King's fourth sister) 10. Princess Sophia of Ebenthal (King's fifth sister) The line of succession goes from the senior to junior males, then from senior to junior females; this regarding ascendancy, not age. For example, Prince Theo is older than both Prince Heitor and Prince Lorenzo, but as Heitor's mother is the King's older sister, thus why he's ahead of Theo and Lorenzo, whose mothers' come after Heitor's mother.
