If people had WWJD (What Would Jimbo Do) in mind when they start fighting over stuff, a lot of this crap would just go away.
Actually I think the aura of the God-King has either faded for a lot of people, or they never had a sense of it in the first place (cf, Karmafist wheel warring with Jimbo). Our constitutional monarchy model has problems .
That may be because it isn't a constitutional monarchy. If the monarch's power is unfettered and he intervenes directly in minor matters that are otherwise the province of government, then it is a dictatorship. A benevolent dictatorship, I trust.
I'm sure that if Tony Blair decided to turn the UK into a fascist one- party state, Queen Elizabeth would come down and say "no, stop, you're being stupid."
This is a big argument for constitutional monarchies being better than republics, incidentally.
