If our vaunted rule of the people does not breed nobler men and women than monarchies have done it must and will inevitably give place to something better.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Women have been called queens for a long time, but the kingdom given them isn't worth ruling.
We stand a better chance with aristocracy, whether hereditary or elective, than with monarchy.
While civilization has been improving our houses, it has not equally improved the men who are to inhabit them. It has created palaces, but it was not so easy to create noblemen and kings.
Over the years to come, one thing is for certain: if the monarchy wishes to stay relevant and in power, it will have to change more.
Instead of noblemen, let us have noble villages of men.
Something as curious as the monarchy won't survive unless you take account of people's attitudes. After all, if people don't want it, they won't have it.
As great as kings may be, they are what we are: they can err like other men.
I'd like to see a much more open Monarchy, myself. I used to think they were completely useless and we should get rid of them. I don't necessarily feel that way anymore. I'm still ambivalent, I still loathe the British class system, and the Royal family are the apex of the British class system.
If monarchy is corrupting - and it is - wait till you see what overt empire does to us.
Make women rational creatures, and free citizens, and they will quickly become good wives; - that is, if men do not neglect the duties of husbands and fathers.
