  1. Some confusing optics here from people who often point out Britain is culturally under threat. Farage arguing only leftists are republicans; that's a bad and simplistic take. A reduced monarchy would be a good thing as it would be an opportunity to change the system of political representation. Let's face it, the electoral system is antiquated, fptp means it's always a contest between lab and con, and it is now emerging that monarchs can drop their neutrality at the Privy Council. The British people deserve better than this. The way forward is: keep the monarchy but review its role in politics and make the political system more representative, and therefore more democratic. In summary: evolution not revolution.

  2. I don't think the electoral system is still fit for purpose though. We can keep the monarchy but change the system of political representation. The two are not mutually exclusive.

  3. This means looking at the monarchy too, I'm afraid.
