Monarchy is Institution That Refuses to Die A Gracious Death And It Is Our Fault.


The world deserves better than monarchies. One would assure this statement is uncontroversial and as such should have been echoed by almost everybody and you will be wrong in your assumptions.  


As of today, the popularity of the British monarchy is at 41% among the people of Britain. This is a country that purports to be a democracy, but still has its affairs closely intertwined with the 'divine institution' of the monarchy, they go as far as to call themselves a constitutional monarchy. 


 On my part, I think the reason why people like seems not to be logical at all. If anything, there seems to be a mystic reverence, the religious allegiance, which is essential to a true monarchy, are imaginative sentiments that no legislature can manufacture in any people. In this sentiment, one can find a heavy dose of ancient reasons for the choice of men as kings.

                                                              
Even monarchists such as Bagehot didn't try to justify monarchy as rational (indeed he accepted many of Paine's criticisms), but his point was that because England is an "old and complicated society" the justification for its existence has to dry, and even insipid to say the less.
