Monarchy Feudal Tyranny

The English monarchy has a well documented bloody history.We are told it is innocuous now because it is a mere constitutional monarchy,little more than symbolic.But it is precisely for this reason that it is symbolic that it should go.Symbols matter.If Germany said we have abandoned Nazism but we are going to continue with a constitutional Nazism, with the outward form re flags,swastika,Nazi salutes,insignias and all the Nazi panoply but without the intellectual application and content of Nazism no one would think it acceptable yet we are fobbed off with this evasion and sleight of hand and swallow it whole.Monarchy and the fawning interest we show in it is infantile and the philosophy behind it ie blind subjection to arbitrary rule is dangerous and sets us up for the arbitrary rule of our democratic leaders and obviates a truly liberal freedom based individual rights oriented polity.The Freedom Party would abolish the British monarchy and use its vast possessions to pay down the national debt.
