I could not disagree more strongly. I love the British monarchy and could not bear to see it disappear. With its magnificent pageantry and ancient traditions, the monarchy is one of the few things that keeps this dreary modern world from being completely devoid of continuity with the distant past. I attended HM the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations in London last year, and this unforgettable weekend was a highlight of my life. I do not understand how anyone who has witnessed as I have the monarchy at its best, thrilling and touching millions of people, could not wish it to last forever. God Save the Queen!
