I've never been too impressed by the idea that dispensing with the Queen would have any effect upon the hierarchy in this country. Look at the other countries all around us. In fact in Europe the ones that appear to be less cursed by that are more likely than not to have royals
- I'm thinking of Scandinavia and the Netherlands.

I suspect they could likely get shot of the royals up in Scotland when they go independent, thugh I wouldn't bet on it. But in England I can't see it happening. And it wouldn't do a thing to get rid of the distorsions to society Steve catalogued.
