You can argue that we could have done it without them isnt inherently true. In war, morale is very important. Would we replace them with a president? A man who the majority of the country will have voted again and will despise? Even less people like Britains elected officials than like the monarchy, good luck uniting the people behind a president...

Moral? Pah! Troops know what they got themselves into and they should be willing to fight for whatever reason they joined. Although Britian did have Conscription at the time no? Well in that case the task of keeping the troops in order are of even greater importance to the commander

And anyway other countries without monarchs seem to do just fine, are you Brits [i]that[/i] reliant on your Monarch that you would lose all hope if they left you?

As for a brave fool, I have in my time come to the conclusion that a brave and honoirable fool is better than a wise man. The wise seem to endlessly plan each others dimise
[/quote]

Both the brave and the foolish die because of recklessness, or as some like to say "courage", on the frontlines. Better is the wise or the cowardly who actuallly live[quote=darkwolf687]
As for a revolution, I hope you arent serious. Very few revolutions with noble goals have ever ended in happiness. and more often lots of sorrow. A revolution may be the only way to "even the playing field", but it will end in another uneven field. This is the invariably truth of humanity, we'll just be wasting time.

Thats because most revolutions did not have the right prerequisites unlike what Britian has today, a "advamced" Capitalistic economy, reliance on other countires for resources and trade, more Economic crisis's coming at a greater pace, and as always, disatisfaction with the system

And what is this other uneven playing field? 

As for wasting time, I must wholeheartedly disagree

Why just go Europe? Because at the moment thats realistic. I can say "The entire Earth should be united" until the cows come home, but to unite a planet you must first unite a continent.Put it this was; The tribes of Great Britain were transitory componants into the old kingdoms, which were transition states into England, Scotland etc, which were transition states into the UK, which is a transition state into the EU, which will be a transition state into a UE.

Well of course. I never said we have to do it all in one fell swoop.
