If there were to be a real change in how the country worked, with a move to a genuinely egalitarian society in which there would be no place for extremes of wealth or poverty, I can't see much room for a hereditary monarchy.

But if it's just to be the same old system, with fat cats ripping us all off, and a privileged minority running the place, whatever the political label, I can't see that getting rid of the monarchy would be anything other than a pretty meaningless bit of stage-dressing, which wouldn't change anything signifiacant.

In fact, if I look around at those (more or less) democratic countries which have retained their hereditary monarchs, and those which have dispensed with them, on the whole I tend to prefer the former.

I see the royals essentially as a variety of lottery winners, and see no reason to feel particularly hostile to them any more than I do to other lottery winners. Lottery of birth, National Lottery - what's the real difference?
