[QUOTE="tampasteve, post: 77649311, member: 398316"] Broadly my beliefs follow the exact opposite of [USER=416395]@bèlla[/USER] , but then we can all hold beliefs about monarchy with little impact on our lives as Americans. I like Prince William and Princess Kate but dislike Harry and Meghan. I find a connection to King Charles and Queen Camilla as stewards of the country, kingdom and the Commonwealth Realms. All politicians live off the people in some way, a monarch at least gives the country something back in the form of symbolism and pride. I am an American supporter of monarchy, British or otherwise. Personally I believe that a semi-constitutional monarchy and a Westminster Parliamentary system have advantages over the two party strong presidential system of America. Our system is broken at this point. In regards to royalty in general, people tend to desire a measure of pomp and circumstance, be it from celebrities of Hollywood, strong political personalities, or from royalty. A monarchy gives the country something and someone to unify them, someone above and set apart from the rabble of the parliament or congress. The monarch can be someone that liberals and conservatives can either rally behind or against, but the monarch unifies in either way. [/QUOTE]
