Charioteers will appreciate that Republicanism may, when mentioned on The Chariot, refer to either of two distinctly different movements.
There is, I understand, a Republican, anti-Monarchy movement in the UK. I know absolutely nothing about this movement since, regular visits notwithstanding, I have not lived there for over two decades. I do have some broadbrush opinions on the UK Monarchy and the constitutional framework in which it exists, which are based on earlier experiences supplemented by contemporary attention to current affairs, but I cannot claim to be fully informed – nor would I expect to be, being a foreigner. Boadicea has already mentioned the two main areas in which I feel that your UK Monarchy has failed (ceding sovereignty to the EU, neglecting the rôle of Defender of the Faith), but – and you may have noticed this – I have not attempted to join UK-centric discussion on the subject. I do not know enough about what is going on there. Read on, but be warned, it’s as long as a short story
