In the Penguin, New History of the World, it states that the six most stable countries in the world are all constitutional monarchies. The world is entering precarious times. This is not the time to start mucking with systems of government that have worked reasonably well.
Like for the rest of. No future! Cheeers
Asking ‘what now?’ and what about the future seen like two separate questions.
If they are replaced by a president, it will cost more, and will be far less stable.
Not exactly the best option right now
I love to imagine the faces of the Republicans, if the Republicans succeed, abolish the Monarchy then find out their new President is Boris Johnson hahahaha.
I think there’s a few pressing problems in the country to fix before starting to make more stuff worse.
We ask that question when the Queen dies, with all possibilities on the table.
I’d end the monarchy, but I don’t think it’s in my top 50 of pressing issues that need to be dealt with in U.K.
Give it 10 years and they’ll be joining us on r/beermoneyuk
Let the Queen pass with honour and appreciation before considering this, Charles has fallen very far from his mother’s tree and has not inherited or learnt from her example. There will be plenty of time to disassemble him once he is anointed.
The Republic movement is a mess that can’t decide for the length of a breath whether the Monarch has too much power, or is just there to do the PM’s bidding. They don’t bring answers, & their arguments sound like echoes of the lies we were told around Brexit. I’ve already seen some of them talk about redistributing Royal wealth among the people – it’s basically their version of Boris’s £350m bus.
The way the Republic group represents the Monarchy in the UK is hilariously outdated. What we have is a democracy with effectively a neutral Monarch monitor; if whoever replaces the Queen shows a bias or veers from that path in any way, as a nation we’d be rid of the Monarchy by the end of the week – it simply wouldn’t survive.
There’s no reason to get rid of the Monarchy (yet) – and certainly not replace them with a US-style President which is what the group seems to be pushing for, without actually saying it. It would be much better to focus on pushing for an alternative vote system to replace the manipulable FPP bullshit we currently use, but I guarantee you’ll never see this as an aim from the group.
