I hold no opinions over what kind of government the UK has-that is up to the UK citizenry. But I am not inherently hostile to the monarchy. I do think *my opinion only* that the UK would be better with a written constitution. However, as we have seen, even that is not bulwark enough. I have really been paying attention and learning more about the UK government system since Brexit came to the fore. Anyone who cares about western civilization at all needs to be paying attention to what transpires. I have always felt the ultimate goal of the EU was a federal union that would destroy the ancient nations of Europe and their freedoms. It screams DANGER! to my mind. I wish the UK all the luck in the world in getting loose from this leviathan.

I feel the opposite way. The monarchy is an antiqued system and the only reason the Queen is able to help herself to a lifetime of taxpayer funded money is because of rules in place that allow only non-Catholics to be eligible for the position. The monarchy is a useless figurehead that could be easily be abolished at this point without any noticeable change the country's internal affairs.

A written constitution, in THIS current society and political environment, would likely cause huge problems though for the UK. Lefties in both parties would dominate the drafting committees and likely try to enshrine stuff like taxpayer funded transgender surgery as eternal "human rights" guaranteed by the state, decree that Islam is "co-equal" with the Church of England as the "official" state church of the UK, and so on.
