Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 More to the point Heraldry can and does exist in Republics The closest example is the Chief Herald Of Ireland based in Dublinhttps://www.nli.ie/en/heraldry-introduction.aspx And that's not a new phenomenom These are family shields from the Republic of Venice from a manuscript dated 1350 They’re all shite though. A 2 year old could do a better job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The monarchy is merely utilitarian both sides of the border. You'd never design a country starting with a constitutional monarchy so it will last for as long as it's useful. The Williamite settlement has, at its root, its own demise and this is sensible. ^^^Exit strategy.^^^ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Mexico designed a country with a constitutional country. They might’ve killed the guy when he tried to retake his throne but that’s just details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my preference but Scotland could become independent and still be a constitutional monarchy. Ever heard of Canada? If we can persuade enough people to vote YES I don’t think upon Independemce it will be too difficult to convince them to ditch the parasites and the archaic pish that they represent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As monarchists love to bang on about how Elizabeth Windsor is descended via a circuitous route from a line of crackpots, why not insist that an independent Scotland would invite the Stuart claimant to the throne? They’d have no cause for complaint. They claim to believe in bloodlines being important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only misgiving about replacing the monarchy is based on what the Americans have elected as Head of State. We’d probably end up with Lorraine Kelly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Kerr's speech was essentially a rant about how offended he was by a 'Tory Scum Out' banner, followed by something about the need to fly more union flegs in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
