Two World wars in a 30 year span effectively killed off all the decent stock of men. Sending waves of infantry to charge into fields covered by Maxim machine guns didn't help matters for sure.

All the decent Aristocrats, the ones with a sense of noblesse oblige ended up dead leaving only their spineless, or scheming bretheren behind. The kind that only care about obtaining political and or personal power. They didn't think " is it good for the Realm" , but " is it good for me".
