Sorry but you are quite wrong there when Charles the first was executed at the end of the English civil war there was no monarchy for several years

The Interregnum, led by Oliver Cromwell - problem was, no-one could think what to do after he died, so the post of Lord Protector was offered to his son, Richard, who resigned shortly after and paved the way for Charles II to come back and this started the so-called Constitutional Monarchy - but it took another civil war/revolution in 1689 to fix that properly.Sorry but you are quite wrong there when Charles the first was executed at the end of the English civil war there was no monarchy for several years

No - my point is that monarchs haven't always existed so you can't really use some supposed idea of permanence to support the institution.
Or you might as well say we should be ruled by druids 'cos they used to have the job way back when...

if you go back far enough none of us existed ....
there are privileged classes no matter how we are ruled .... was communism any better ? still had those with privileges and those without ...no system will ever be any different...
MOTM
these were just short periods ...the majority has been a monarchy ... it was a general point there will be the privileged classes with or without the Royal Family ...Sorry but you are quite wrong there when Charles the first was executed at the end of the English civil war there was no monarchy for several years
