Inspired and refreshing. Really enjoyed reading this one Steve. If only those with power would follow through on using their position to 'do the right thing'.

It's good to read another angle on this, Steve. We need passion and different views. Good one.

I read these lines with knowledge of a saying: "Cynicism is the
last resort of idealism" Sadly, there has never been a perfect
world, let alone perfect people and their systems. The long
institution of monarchy provides a guiding light for the wayward
passing shipping in the often stormy political seas. .

That's the problem with a constitution monachy, she can advise goverments based on years of history but it's the idiots voted in on either side that cause the hardship
Maybe if we expected and demanded more from our elected leaders instead of thinking she has a vast fortune that is a cure for all ills we may get somewhere.
I did not enjoy reading your work due mainly to the basic flaws in understanding, but I respect your right to believe in your sentiments and to write about it

Brave submission, Steve.
I'm not an avid monarchist nor an avid republican. I am conflicted between the theory and the practice. In theory, I prefer by far an elected leader rather than one based on inheritance. In practice, I look at who this would have given us over the last 50 years, eg Boris and Margaret Thatcher.
Paradoxically, a monarch would have been (and still is) far less divisive for the nation than any elected partisan leader.
On balance therefore I find myself a reluctant monarchist.
