British people have never had the chance to vote It serves no function, so its harmless
for or against the monarchy (much of the system of
government has been inherited from an
undemocratic past
The monarchy has existed in the current form since It frees the prime minister from pointless ceremonial
the 10th century (out of date) a airs, leaving him free to govern the country
The monarch plays only a ceremonial role and It acts as a source of national pride and loyalty
having lost all political power, he is still the head of
the state
79% of the people believe that it has lost touch with Can provide a personal identity to an impersonal
the society state
The biggest supporting factor is of course the fact - Someone who is allegiance is to the people not
that no one can agree on an alternative, since it just to the people who voted for him
serves no purpose , it can do no harm, and so time - National Icon
should be devoted to more urgent consideration the - The monarchy embodies British history and
most people think However, I argue that it does a identity in all its aspects good and bad
lot of harm and that the issue needs to be - Queen as a living continuity between the past the
addressed urgently if Britain is to be seen as a present and the future
modern and in uential state -
- f.e they could completely abolish the monarchy
repose the palaces, lands and funds that belong
to the nation and elect a head of the state to
ful ll the ceremonial position that the monarch
currently inhabits
A hereditary monarch representing the feudal
society of medieval England is intolerable in a
modern democratic state
- represent the anachronistic class System in
Britain
- Promoting social divison
- As long as the monarchy survives, so will the
class system in Britain
Its unacceptable that the British tax payers should
be paying 75.000.000 pounds a year to support one
of the richest families in Britain
- That would pay the University tuition fees of
75.000 of the poorest students, or pay for the
running of an entire hospital
It may generate income from tourism, but would
increase to unprecedented levels if they were to
abolish the monarchy and open up all the palaces
as museums, hotels or restaurants
Its a relict of an age which no person in Britain
should be proud of
- while the monarch lived a sheltered life of luxury,
those who created the wealth were forced to live
in unimaginable su erings
- Aboard, Britain sold human beings into slavery
and treated inhabitants of her colonies as
second-class citizens
Only 12% of the public believes that the monarchy
should continue in its presents form
