🇬🇧 Should the UK abolish monarchy now? 🚫👑

[Lechasseur]

No (not British). I've always found the "argument" that the institution of monarchy is "outdated" as a pathetic reason on why it should be abolished.

No, there is great value in having a separation of head of government and head of state. Additionally, given the monarchy's limited power these days, what good does abolishing it do other than to eliminate an institution fundamental to the history and identity of Britain?

Exactly

I totally agree with this

The United States having a Monarchy would be unthinkable, but in Europe, a system like the British is probably the best system at least as it pertains to having a non-political head of state. If one is worried about the expense, then trim some of the fat (which Charles wants to do anyway IIRC).

There have been times recently, where I wished we had a non-political head of state.

Agreed
