Monarchy or Republic?

That doesn't matter.

One of you might mention how the Nazis came into power through some kind of majority - the Godwinization spell is ready

It's about putting that theory to the test in practice.

It's a win/win situation. If the royals are so popular, they will invariably win. However it'll also inject a welcome and highly overdue measure of accountability.

Someone try persuading me it's a bad idea. C0ckney?

Don't mention the war!

I think in England at least, theoretically the Queen still controls everything.

Now if she actually tried to control anything, their would be a rebellion, I think. But I think to actually say that she isn't queen, you would at least need some sort of government changing motion.

I don't think most people (in particular, those in power or near power) want to have such a drastic change. So it is kept just how it is.

Anyone want to hear how the Duchy of Cornwall has ruthlessly exploited its tax-free status to translate in uncompetitive business tactics over the past 15 years? It's a doozy.

Go on then.
