A Call For Democratic Reform of the Monarchy

The Monarchy is “a form of government in which supreme authority is vested in a hereditary figure e.g. the queen. These powers can vary from those of an absolute despot to a figure head”.

The British royal family have ruled over the British Isles and its former symbiotic empire for the past 1140 years. Some believe that the royals have brought security, patriotism and heritage to the country, a country that we all love and cherish. But in the year 2014, is it still necessary to endlessly cling on to these, somewhat archaic ideologies? The ideological system of birth rights to power is archaic and goes against the democratic values we hold in such high esteem in the UK. Values such as equality and the right to vote for the country’s figure head. Let’s look at this passively. What is the difference between a monarch and a dictator? The simple answer is…there is none. A dictator’s successor is controlled by the ideology of a birth rights system, as is the monarchy. A dictator has the most powerful political and economic position in a country even if it claims to be a democracy, as does the monarchy. The power of which the Crown has is second to none. Many forget that every law, every elected member of parliament and even our own Prime Minister must all seek the approval of the vitriolic Crown. Putting this into perspective, even if we as the free democratic nation elect a leader, the wicked Witch of the West and her gullible advisors would still authorise the position. So in the words of Rene Guenon, “there is no such thing as democracy”. There is no such thing as a freedom to vote, leadership voted for by the people.

On average the tax payer spends an estimated £202 million a year on the monarchy. In a time of major economic recovery, in a time when tuition fees are at a staggering £9000 a year and in a time of high child poverty (17%), in a time when hospitals are majorly underfunded and under staffed, and more recently a time when public workers conform to strikes as a means of protest. What the people must know is that all of the anger portrayed must be re-directed to the family of thieves we like to praise in such high esteem in the UK. The family that steal from the taxpayer to send their “silver-spoon” born offspring on the pathway through Eton, Oxford and then to the royal academy for un-worthy celebrities. This money un-rightfully spent on the royals, could be used to keep the sick healthy, subsidise university for students from underprivileged families, to help the extortionate costs of tuition and the make sure that the armed forces who are fighting in a capitalist money making wars are fully equipped deterring the need for death.

Even our history books tell us that there is no good from the ideology of birth rights. King Henry VIII was a cruel and vicious man who squandered the wealth his father had made and ultimately caused considerable misery and suffering. This man was king due to birth rights. To sum up this man in a subtle persuasive triadic structure; Crude, corrupt, crazy. Taking this into less archaic time and more modern, the latest addition to the family of thieves Prince George. What if he were to turn out like a barbarian like his predecessors?

We have a choice, we could leave things the way they are and wait for the witch of the west to die and face the “prospect of a politically active and unaccountable King Charles”. A politically motivated barbarian like Kim Jong-un of North Korea. Inherited heads of state with strong political prospects such as Prince Charles should not be allowed to be one of the most powerful men in the world through the ideology of birth right and the potential to cause a dictatorship nation like Mr. Jong-un or go to war with declare war with the United Nations like Mr. Jong-un.

This does not have to be the answer. We as the people still have a choice, we don’t have to sit and watch the next dictator of Britain claim the throne. But there is a solution. A vote for democratic reform of the monarchy would finally see Britain out of the depths of Twenty First Century oppression in the west and into the brightest sunshine. A fairer nation built of the foundation of equality.

I call for democratic reform.
