Republicanism works very well for others, Darren, but I think it will only happen here if in the future we have a corrupt monarch who totally loses the respect of the great majority. Even nowadays most people support the principle of a hereditary monarch who remains above politics, and the chances of a revolution are slight!

I love Bern's and PaulB's replies.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
