I would be interested to hear how you can justify that statement Guest. My own objections to the institution of monarchy are based on the fact that it represents a part of a system in which people owe their influence to an accident of birth rather than any concrete achievement, suitability, industry or talent. The fact that some of them are industrious, devoted and occasionally even able is neither here nor there. Nor is the actual monarchy itself the main problem. It is the unearned privilege of people to whom I am expected or even required to be deferential which really puts my back up. "Steal a little and they throw you in jail/Steal enough and they make you king". The class system is essentially the legitimisation of theft by dint of antiquity.
