The Russians and the French amongst others found a solution to royal issues :).
The formation of a republic is a solution, but could it be achieved without the concomitant bloodshed?
there is little difference
Between what - a monarchy and a republic? There is a big difference, but some republican presidents get the constitution changed so that they can remain in office for a long time, if not for a lifetime.
Exactly, just like the Arab nationalists did in the Post colonial middle east. Get rid of the Kings, have a sham election, then the President is the new king, only replaced upon death.Quote:

And all the vacated royal residences can be used to house asylum seekers. Would need a few upgrades first (better broadband, reliable bus service, room service). Then they can have my house too, because I'd be buggering off abroad to one of the counties deemed not good enough for them.Quote:

What I don't get is, if they wrote the Fundamental Charter of Human Rights just after the war before it was invented, who thought to put strong WiFi in it? They must have been pretty canny to think that far forward.Quote:
