Should the British monarchy be abolished?
Lots of people argue about whether the British monarchy should be abolished or not since the Queen recently died.
Therefore, I will list arguments for and against the monarch so that you can form your own opinion.
On one hand, a monarch is seen as a representative of the country.
That is, he or she embodies traditional national values, unity and history.
This leads to stronger national identification and brings people closer together.
That is why many people say that a monarchy brings stability.
In addition, members of the royal family have important roles at the head of all kinds of charities, and because of their image and popularity, they help charities continue their good work.
Another positive aspect is that the British monarchy has shown that it is able to reform and adapt to modern times. An example of this would be that Prince Charles was allowed to marry a divorced women.
It can also be said that the queen or king is perhaps the most expensive monarch in Europe, but that does not mean that a president would be cheaper.
On the other hand, the monarch has no real political power, which means that his or her functions are mainly formal and could easily be taken away by other political bodies or an elected president.
Although many members of the Royal Family head charities they do not really engage in political work for those charities but rather serve as a kind of figurehead.
But it is precisely a monarchy that harms democracy, because the people cannot elect the head of state.
Also, a monarch has no consequences to face when making mistakes and since Britain is a hereditary monarchy, nobody knows whether the next monarch will have good or bad intentions.
Therefore, it can be said that the royal family is a symbol of an unjust and unequal society.
Weighing the pros and cons one come to the conclusion that the monarchy has many positive sides, for example, it brings stability or embodies history, but the negative sides mask this.
because since the country is a democracy, the monarchy should be abolished so that people can choose for themselves who should be the next monarch so that there is equality.
