Because then you're not a proper politician and so will never be in a position to try to change it. No. It's 2015 and major political factions should be able to (and just SHOULD, in my opinion) openly reject the monarchy.

Can't agree with this. At the present time, the UK constitution is based around a monarchy. The queen opens parliament. The leader of the governing party goes to see the queen prior to starting government and resigns to the queen when finishing.

Every country has an anthem. It is a song to celebrate the nation. I am not a royalist, I will be much happier when we become a republic, but until that time, that is the fundamental basis of our constitution. Corbyn's refusal to sing the anthem is him sticking 2 fingers up at the people of this country, as it is THEIR constitution until THEY decide its time for change.
