Monarchism is the belief in the importance and value of a monarchy as a form of government. It can be associated with traditionalism and support for the preservation of traditional institutions. Monarchism is often compared to a republic, which is a form of government where the head of state is not a monarch but an elected or appointed official.
While monarchism can be associated with right-wing ideologies, it is not exclusively a right-wing idea and can also align with progressive and anti-establishment politics.

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.
