🇬🇧 Should the UK abolish monarchy now? 🚫👑

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I'm not in favour of the hereditary principle in principle, but neither am I in favour of having a political Head of State: Parliament is sovereign and a Head of State with a political profile (or, worse, some kind of independent mandate) violates this. A mild constitutional monarchy is an acceptable compromise and preferable to most Republican systems, even if it isn't my preference. Besides, there are more pressing matters.

So what is your preference? A non-political HoS or abolishing the office of HoS?

The former: the latter would be an extremely bad idea. It is very important that the symbolic aspects of the State are not in the care of the government of the day.
