"90 "elected hereditary peers", who have been elected by and from members who had been granted or inherited hereditary peerages granted by monarchs down the ages" really needs to be rewritten.  It does, I guess, actually mean something, but it is not very gracefully stated.

a clunky phrase

"90 "elected hereditary peers", who have been elected by and from members who had been granted or inherited hereditary peerages granted by monarchs down the ages" really needs to be rewritten. It does, I guess, actually mean something, but it is not very gracefully stated. Hayford Peirce 15:54, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

That's probably because I tried to keep as much as possible of what was already there when I rewrote it. Peter Jackson 16:37, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
