The British monarchy should be abolished.
I believe that the archaic UK's monarchy should be abolished and that the state should change its name and become a republic. The idea of having a monarch has always been ludicrous and is even more so in the modern time. The people of a state should hold popular sovereignty of it and be citizens of the state, not subjects of the monarch. Giving extra rights and privileges to a person based on the family in to which they were born is a stupid, archaic idea. According to Article 1 of the United Nation's Universal Deceleration of Human Rights, "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood". Monarchy runs contrary to this concept of being "equal in dignity and rights", because the Royal Family has more from birth. Recently, Prince George has caused me great annoyance. I find the idea that a one year old baby who has not had any great achievements or made a large positive difference to lives should be more important than me. From birth, unless the republican movement becomes more popular, he has been guaranteed one day to hold the office of Head of State. I call to your attention this BBC News article: http://www.bbc.co.uk... If you look closely at it, you shall notice that the BBC has reported that a baby is learning to walk. It is ridiculous that just because he has accomplished Being Born, his walking should be deemed 'Newsworthy'. How many babies can walk? This is an introduction as to why the idea of Monarchy is ludicrous. My follow up arguments shall come after my challenger makes a response.
