Royal Succession - Not Soapbox
-
Here[^] There are to be talks about Royal Succesion. Notably changing the rules in two areas, firstly that male heirs lose precedence and second that Catholics may be allowed to become monarch. But wait! Surely if the idea is to stop sexual and religious discrimination then surely there should be no right to the first born becoming king or queen, after all, that would be discrimination on the grounds of age, and agism is illegal too! And it gets more complicated, The Queen is currently the Monarch to fifteen countries, and what if they decline to accept the new rules, you could have one child being Queen of England, one child being King of Australia and a third child being King of Canada for example, madness lies this way! What is wrong with leaving things as they are. Like XP.

Why not just get rid of the monarchy? We already have a prime minister who thinks he's the president of the world...

We used to burn Catholics. Let's just leave things as they are. Henry VIII knew what sort of trouble could lie ahead so he separated us from Rome.

Just call the Prime Minister King or Queen, as the case may be, and get the best of both worlds. :-D
He already has a far better title than that - "Our Glorious Leader" * (usually accompanied with rolling eyes). * For the politicos out there the name was was coined by Diane Abbot MP on "This Week" a few months back.

Like XP? Haven't you downloaded W7b yet? New Labour must change something, otherwise can you imagine the nervous ticks of the officials with nothing to do? (Not soapbox). Also, providing the Pope feels this 'new vein' is not a channel to sell his specially branded version of religious doctrine to the Brits, we'll be okay.

Isn't it rather that an heir who marries a Catholic could then become monarch not that they can be Catholic themselves?

Things aren't where they should be so it is wrong to leave them as they are...no matter how upset the Daily Mail get at the thought of change.

Given that the role is granted to someone on the basis of their genetic makeup it could already be regarded as discrimination. Checking which chromosomes are present doesn't seem to make it any less ridiculous or discriminatory in my book.
