The steady decline of monarchy worldwide continues to baffle social scientists.

Thankfully we can be pretty certain that it's just a bad phase which the world is going through, Monarchy is the most stable and most conservative form of government known to mankind (I would add, when combined with some form of wider representation as in the British constitution, it is also the best by far).

Also, what a surprise to see that communists oppose the Monarchy. But then anti-Monarchism is the most constant element of leftism.

I'm not too fond of Monarchism my own durned self.
