Royal succession - chipping away at tradition : Sat Dec 08, 2012 8:51 pm  
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politic ... tions.html

There are 2 ways of approaching this issue:

1. Embrace tradition and uphold current succession policy.

2. Reject tradition, do away with the monarchy and become a republic.

I just hate the way 21st Century liberal egalitarianism is afflicting our time-honoured traditions. Don't keep chipping away at tradition, either keep it or bin it. I say keep it.

Moreover, what does this change add to our culture? And why are people concerned specifically with the gender of a future heir? Where's the legislation permitting Muslim, Hindu or dare I say it Catholic monarchs? Equal opportunities and all that.

At least Nick Clegg is happy :x :x :x

Or a much better 3rd choice - steadily update the tradition so that you have some of the better/more beneficial elements of both worlds.

You know, like churches performing gay marriages.

Update and tradition are not two words that go well together. Like I have said, where will it end? If the Prince's son converts to Islam to marry a pretty Iranian girl he meets at Bristol Uni, should their child be heir to our throne?

Really? I see tradition and modernity working hand in hand every day of the week, it's pretty much a hallmark of this nation.
And, yes they should. Religion should play no part.

I live in hope that by the time this unborn is succeeding his father we will have seen sense and put royalty into the bin.

Hi Andy

The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

If were really lucky we'll end up with a monarch who doesn't get religion forced down his/her throat and can make his/her own decisions.

Imagine that.

Option 3 - throw away intolerance and embrace the fact that a female monarch hasn't done all that badly in the past 60 years, nor did the female monarch before her.

I realise that its the intolerance thats the sticking bit for you, but try really hard to look at the evidence and you'll see it works.

Just keep them away from any Prime Ministerial duties.

Well of course, but they are useful for doing the washing up after the weekly PM's meeting, a King would never do that.
