Why Constitutional Monarchy Is Fantastic (Really)


With the death of Queen Elizabeth II you’re going to start hearing a lot of voices arguing that it’s high time we get rid of the monarchy altogether. Although Elizabeth was almost universally beloved, the same can’t really be said for her son, so why not just ditch the institution entirely. The usual justification for monarchy is that, while it may seem a little silly, it’s too hard to get rid of it. Tristin Hopper is here to argue the exact opposite.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
