The Monarchy has many advantages. It stops a career politician fulfilling the
role of Head of State, although if the powers under the Royal prerogative were
given to the House of Commons there would be little advantage to the
politician. There is always the danger
of slipping towards a dictatorship as we saw with Cromwell.
The
monarchy is a unifying force, and in the case of a long serving Monarch builds
up great experience. Nevertheless the
Monarch is the servant of the people and to ask for the endorsement of the
people at the beginning of a reign would reinforce the Monarchy. It is not too much to ask.
Such an approach would give
legitimacy to the monarchy, thus strengthening it.
Within one month of the monarch’s death a ballot should be
held of all the people to endorse the successor. Should such endorsement not be given a
ballot should be held on the successor’s eldest child becoming monarch. Should endorsement once again not be forthcoming
the monarchy would be abolished.
