[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1101458, member: 70552"] But it’s one of the reasons why we’re happy to accept the status quo. It would not on its own make society fairer but more what it would represent. But It’s highly unlikely to happen here. Events in the past week and today have shown how much the monarchy are ingrained in the British culture and identity. I would go as far to say at least 75% are pro monarchy and the Charles ascension and all the “mourning” plus Media campaign to force it onto the rest just means more apathy or anti-monarchy, but not nearly enough to force any change. There’s no appetite to get rid of it in England at least. Scotland, Wales and NI (the republican/Catholic population) are another matter. Just a reminder perhaps of how fragile the UK is. More likely that other Commonwealth countries can and will in due course choose to secede and choose their own head of state like Australia. [/QUOTE]
