While the queen is around i gotta say i support the Monarchy.She embodies a more classical form of monarchy that has alot peoples affections.However when prince charles takes over i cant stand the idea of him becoming king.He is a fool who doesent realise his place that as king he should keep his opinions to himself he is a sucker for any bullshit going like homeopathy i dont believe he will keep his political opinions to himself the way the queen does.
I think once the queen goes we can no longer pretend to hold on to something so far from the past.It will be sad but i think around the world people dont like Charles and tourist money will dry up.
I have 2 alternatives
1 A president at least we could have a range of candidates which always seems like a much wider choice to me.I hate the fact Gordan brown is prime minister yet nobody voted for him to be (dont point out the technicalities to the voting system government is very centralised) I actually think a general election should be called if a leader retires and Browns refusal to have an election just seems so undemocratic to me.
2 We have a lottery style competition £1 a ticket all the money goes to pay for the Monarchs expenses and the random winner gets to be king or queen.
