Feeling nauseous listening to so many politicians fawning over a hereditary monarch. Democracy curtsying to unelected power

@JuliaHB1@JamesDelingpole@Kevin_Maguire There are many barriers to meritocracy in UK, and I don't think the Monarchy is the main problem. -
@malgemini it is a major symbol of entrenched power and a lack of meritocracy - therefore it matters -
@JuliaHB1 I am not saying it doesn't matter, but patronage and influence exists at many levels in UK. And not b/c we have a monarch.

@JuliaHB1@JamesDelingpole@Kevin_Maguire Yes there is. Happiness comes from mastery of our passions - Tennyson. Having a Chief is such. -
@JuliaHB1@JamesDelingpole@Kevin_Maguire Denying human systems tend toward privilege is both miserable and obtuse. Witness the Red Princes -
@JuliaHB1@JamesDelingpole@Kevin_Maguire The Monarchy allows us to master our tribal passions, with the freedom to evolve better democracy.
