[QUOTE="Whyayeman, post: 77180007, member: 415320"] I agree that the monarchy has deep roots in tradition. The second Elizabethan era consolidated the House of Windsor's hold on the Crown. And yet - the Monarchy is arguably less popular now than at any time since the WWII. We tend to think of a continuous line of Kings and Queens but that is far from being true. Since the Glorious Revolution (a Protestant triumph) when the Stuart dynasty ended with (Queen Anne) the line ha=of succession has been repeatedly broken. She left no heirs; George I spoke no English and hardly spent any time in his Kingdom - he detested the place. William IV and Victoria were dredged up; there was no very powerful claim to their accessions. George V only succeeded because the heir died; George VI because his big brother shuffled off with the Nazis (a traitor to his country). Deep roots? Dandelions have deep roots. [/QUOTE]
