Has the monarchy had its day?
This is no reflection on the current incumbent who has done an excellent job with what the hand of fate has dealt her.
Separating the person from the position, how can we justify having a head of state selected due to accident of birth, especially as we have encouraged democracy in new countries?
I realise people look at the American presidency with horror, but there are other models for an elected head of state, like the Irish Republic of all places
So in the 21st Century has the monarchy had it's day
