Is it time to put an end to British Monarchy?

Given that Queen Elizabeth II has recently signaled her intention to step down next year and hand the reigns to her successor, Charles, in 2021, is it time to end the archaic practice of gynecological leadership?

Determining someone is fit to run a country by virtue of the womb from which they were extracted rather than any personal virtues seems, in this day-and-age, a most lurid anachronism.

Elizabeth II, in her way, has done a suitable job as Queen of England in post-empirical Britain. But, there is no indication that her progeny have any aptitude for the job or even any desire to do it.

Charles ... who is legally the next in line and must rule after The Queen unless he abdicates ... is a that strangest combination of a cruel and timid man. He is really just a geriatric hippy who is better suited to growing organic veggies than ruling The Commonwealth. The rest of the family, spoiled, and entitled as they are, have no desire for anything more than to keep hold on their wealth, their castles, their titles, and ... above all .. their privileges.

Just a quick recap on what powers the British Monarch still retains...

He/she still appoints all members to the upper house of Parliament (Lords) who are un-elected. Imagine having an un-elected Senate.

No bill passed by Parliament can be made law without the consent of the King/Queen. Although, this is largely considered a rubber-stamp since the last time a monarch vetoed law passed by Parliament was 1708.

No government can be formed without the consent of The Monarch. Regardless who the results of any election in the UK, the monarch must give permission for the elected party to form a government.

The Monarch is the 'Head of State' in most Commonwealth Countries, including the strategically important countries of Canada and Australia. This effectively give him/her the same power to form and dissolve governments as she has in England.

The King/Queen has several dozen other rights and powers not afforded to mere mortals that, while quaint and interesting, not really worth noting.


Twice, Americans have gone to war in an effort to shore up this failing system. Isn't it time to turn the whole pack of dole recipients out on their (in Charles' case, rather large) ears?

Maybe the people of Great Britain should have a referendum on this topic.

Personally, I do not think that they would vote against the monarchy at this time.

But as demographic changes continue in the United Kingdom because of mass immigration, eventually the monarchy WILL be terminated.

P.S. Of course, that silly Prince & his Princess who have been making such fools of themselves here in the United States are not helping the cause of monarchy.

Only God can end the British monarchy.
