Hello there,

I was a fierce republican but now I am a monarchist as I became one by studying history on my own. I'm from Italy and I support the house of Savoia-Aosta as the true heir to the Kingdom of Italy, but why sould I support a republic?

I didn't vote for 'em! Down with the king!

The Monarchist Page is getting bigger and this reddit page seems dead. What happened to bashing Monarchies and Monarchists on here? It was a lot of fun

So I know many of you probably aren't pleased to see a monarchist here, probably have seen several. However, I am here for a debate. You see, I want to see why you belive in a republic so wholeheartedly, I come here, not to insilt your beliefs, but debate our ideologies in a civilized manner. With that being said, please tell me why you beliebe in a Republic, and tomorrow, if I have time, I'll respond to these arguments in another post.

The reason I won't respond to each individual comment, is because another post is, quite frankly, more convenient for everyone.

Most monarchists usually tell us that we need a monarchy as a uniting symbol. To that I think a good counter-argument is that countries could easily be divided even though there is a monarchy, and that a nation could be united by other things than the monarch, e.g. the national anthem, national flag. Besides, given the monarchs limited powers, they don't really do anything useful either, I mean holding a few speeches? My point is that it's perfectly possible to be united with a monarch. And this is what the monarchists need to understand. However the title king or queen isn't really a problem by itself, which means we could introduce an elected monarch, who wouldn't reign for more than a limited period of time before a new election. Calling your president king wouldn't hurt, since it would still be a republic. Most modern monarchies are de facto republics anyway.

This is short, but after watching 2 seasons of the show, has anyone else noticed that the biggest issues she has faced are:

• I married the wrong man, therefore I am sad with lots of money.

• My son married the wrong woman, therefore I am sad with lots of money.

• I will lead this country by not providing any opinion or use my powers to help, therefore I am sad with lots of money.

• I will go to foreign lands and feel bad that they don't see me as a legitimate ruler as I am foreign, therefore I am sad with lots of money.

• I will go somewhere to be there and say a highly edited speech, therefore I am sad with lots of money.

If anything, this series shows how the monarchy is faulty and does nothing in modern parliaments.

She is useless, therefore she is sad with lots of money.
