Good to read an anti-Monarchical Republican argument being made - TopicsExpress



          

Good to read an anti-Monarchical Republican argument being made here as well: As royal mania sweeps Britain in the aftermath of Prince George’s birth, I might be inviting a public flogging here, but if Aussies are suggesting they should be able to vote for their national figurehead, why not us too? The quickfire response is always “but they’re good for tourism”, which is odd because only one royal residence makes the top 20 tourist attractions: Windsor Castle at number 17, thrashed by Windsor Legoland at number seven. There are some Brits who’d prefer Prince William to succeed Queen Elizabeth – others plump for Prince Charles. Easy solution: let them both stand, put it to a public vote, and let anyone else who fancies it put themselves forward too. I’d probably have to accept a royal winning – but that’s democracy, isn’t it?
