A Question To British Posters And British Commonwealth Nation Posters

[Halgurd]

I don't think you read my post very well, but your OP on this thread has already undermined your credibility to the point I don't need to go over it. Sufficed to say that I considered the issue - specifically - beyond the face-value de jure powers of the monarchy, which I barely mentioned, if at all.

Your main reason for keeping the monarchy, as you stated, is the separation of powers and maintaining certain checks and balances. At the same time you admit that the monarchy is pretty much powerless (true).

I’m telling you that the separation of powers has little to do with the monarchy, there is little correlation between the two.

Many countries have had a history of monarchy, and many countries have benefited from their downfall. Just as an example, Russia abolished the Tsar and became an economic and military superpower as a result.

Don’t be afraid of it my friend.

Britain is not Russia. I'd rather compared it to Japan, both are fellow island nations with strong naval history off the coast of Northern Eurasia, influenced by the Continent by sea (Europe and East Asia) but developed separately with own unique identities, both were the first to industrialise in their respective regions, both preserved long chain of institutional and political tradition that stretches to the Middle ages when compared to their continental counterpart and both still retained a constitutional monarchy

Facile. Do you have any reasons to actually abolish the monarchy?
