MONARCHIES

CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHIES ARE MORE CALM & STABLE BECAUSE A MONARCHY OFFERS ADVANTAGES THAT CANNOT EXIST IN A REPUBLIC

  • A hereditary monarch is able to unite a nation because he or she does not have to cultivate  favours or votes from any section of the community, and is therefore able to represent all creeds, classes and political beliefs.
     
  • He or she is the living symbol of a nation. All citizens can identify with a monarch born and trained to the office.
     
  • He or she can be supported by all the people, irrespective of political beliefs, unlike a president who can be elected by less than 50% of an electorate.
     
  • He or she holds office for life. The office cannot be challenged by law or election.
     
  • He or she, aided by the immediate royal family, can carry out a range of duties and public engagements ceremonial, charitable, military, and historic which politically elected heads would never have time to carry out.
     
  • He or she is able to look back on centuries of history, and forward to the welfare of the entire realm for which he or she is sovereign. Some progressive leaders of crown-less republics are not interested in building on the achievements, or sustaining the principles of the culture, of the nation, but are prone to endangering the cultural inheritance of the past.
     
  • He or she safeguards against civil or military dictatorship as it denies certain reserve constitutional powers to others.
     
  • He or she can use his or her enormous experience to advise and warn transient political leaders and  governments, particularly if they have been enjoyed the reign of a long-serving monarch like Queen Elizabeth the 2nd who has outlived 11 Prime Ministers.
     
  • A hereditary monarch is the living symbol of a nation. All citizens can identify with the man or woman born and trained to the office.
