Do you see the British monarchy lasting or do you see a presidency in the near future? Why or why not?

[Lucy68]

Yes

No

For all practical intents and purposes, the UK IS a democracy- a parliamentary one, granted, but still. The whole idea of "royalty" is anathema to democracy as an idea, but it can work as a governmental system, even if it's not really accepted as a social one. I don't them going away any time soon.

[ChrisMaster69]

Definitely not a President, that’s just moving from a democracy to having some fuckwit with a load of powers.

it’s then also another level of bureaucracy.

[EnglishEuropean]

Or having a fuckwit as Prime Minister

[ChrisMaster69]

@EnglishEuropean yeah, however his powers are limited

Also it’s fairly easy to oust a crap one

[EnglishEuropean]

I'm trying.

Britain is an example of constitutional monarchy. Im not sure if the monarchy would exist in a few years, because there seems to be a lot of tension amongst the family members

[Anonymous]

Option c, i dont know

What century are we in? Monarchy must come to an end today, whether de facto or figurative. A state should be a state of law, not a family state.

[CaptainSmartass]

I can see the Monarchy lasting, but not parliament. Our mps have caused so much shit, I can see people getting pissed off. During the faffing around with Brexit, and constant attempts to cancel it, there was talk of scrapping parliament.

Simples...

[goaded]

You get a chance to change parliament every time there's a general election. No alternative allows that.

[goaded]

If the alternative is a President Johnson, keep them.

[CaptainSmartass]

Or president Corbyn.

[Jamie05rhs]

I'm American, so it doesn't matter, because we're independent from them.
Generally speaking, though, I don't have a negative view of the monarchy.

[Kelly6]

It will last.
because most of British tourist economy comes from their history and castle.
if they go , tourist will decrease

[Levin]

Oh yeah, Biden or Trump. That's just what we need.

[LegendaryIcon]

they only have it for tradition
