Liz Truss will do wonders for the popularity of the monarchy
No, republicanism is less popular than bringing the death penalty back.
Judging on today I don’t think many want to see the end of the Monarchy.
I dont think so. Constitutional monarchy isnt perfect, but on the whole it works well in terms of an apolitical head of state. The problems are under the monarchy, with party politics and career politicians, thats what needs to change. We need to get rid of parties and have term limits on all politicians.
No, the people like groveling before their betters.
A much devolved monarchy would be fine with me. Something akin to what most other European countries with monarchies have.
The majority support the Monarchy so I think they will still serve our nation for many years to come thankfully 😁
I don’t think so, they want to continue this tradition.
This country seems too sympathetic towards paedophiles and those with undeserved power
Charles *could* screw it up, in fact I think he might. But the monarchy has the benefit of a far more popular successor waiting in the wings.
Even if Charles III forgot himself and did something which sparked a constitutional crisis, I feel the mood is such that they would merely want him to be replaced rather than scrapping the entire institution.
I personally think at some point the heir to the throne (perhaps even a few in line for it) will just say they don’t want it, and it’ll create enough public apathy towards the whole thing to get the job done. Charles talks of slimming the whole thing down. From there it’s possible to see the family just not being arsed with it and being tempted to go the route of Harry.
I think it very unlikely the monarchy will stop in England.
In Canada, Aus, NZ, Jamaica, etc…, I suspect this will hasten the end.
Today was the pinnacle of the British monarchy. It went out with a bang. From now it’s going to be a slow slide to eventual abolition. I think we’ll get all the way down to William’s heir though. Australia will likely get rid of it before Charles is gone. Canada and New Zealand during William’s turn.
Whatever happens to the monarchy the British Empire is finally being buried today.
When the Queen was born Britain controlled the high seas and half the World’s landmass. Now the British Army can’t find enough recruits to fill the ranks, the British political class is universally viewed as ridiculous buffoons, and London is an international city owned by and populated by anyone who can afford to reside in it.
I was indifferent to the Monachy before this week. But seeing how people have been treated for critiquing them – particularly the kid who called the pedophile ‘sick’ and was charged for it – I’d vote to abolish if there was ever a referendum.
Unfortunately not. There are too many sycophants who almost live vicariously through the royal family. It’s the serf mentality, it never left. Put aside the fact that any vote on the issue would be rigged and you’re left with the sad fact that a significant number of people in this country actually enjoy being lesser. They enjoy being second class citizens and knowing their place. It might be a kind of sadism/submission kink, I’m not sure. It’s very difficult to get into their mentality because it’s not one generally seen except maybe for in canines.
