Being from a republic your stance is understandable.
Why you staunchly oppose any form of monarchy from someone who comes from a republic is beyond me however.
The monarchy in Britain isn't incompatible with democracy as we have proved since the end of the English civil war. The monarchy transcends politics in Britain as the Queen is the head of the church here.
How would you feel if I told you that the pope was incompatible with the Republic of Ireland?
btw I'm no monarchist.
And what Australia, Canada and the like choose to do with their future, is their business and for them to choose, but I'd appreciate you not telling the British what they ought to do.
Ta very much.
