  • We shouldn’t hate the monarchy, necessarily. We should hate monarchy as a concept.

    It’s archaic, it formalises and legitimises unbelievable levels of inequality and elitism, and it gives rise to at least the strong possibility (and in the UK’s case at least, the actuality) of a tiered legal system, with some laws simply not applying to some people because of their position.

    It’s a repulsive idea, based on historical might and hereditary right, and with no regard for democracy or equality of all people.


  • What good to you think will come of getting rid of them?

    We’d become a proper modern country where the person who represents the nation is chosen by the nation? We’d move on from a system where who’s up front simply depends on who their mum or dad were? We’d rid ourselves of a system trained with centuries of imperial exploitation, racism and subjugation? We’d open up new tourism opportunities, with the palaces and castles being available for anyone to visit, a la Versailles?

    And that’s just off the top of my head.
