It'll be as divisive as all hell but it would definitely Make great strides.Servant of the Chiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018786429076784275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669776494971280696.post-33909533318614566602010-06-16T07:57:24.251-07:002010-06-16T07:57:24.251-07:00It seems what you're reaching towards is a kin...It seems what you're reaching towards is a kind of Gramsciism in service of monarchism - that is, using the influence and prestige of people like journalists, academics and teachers in creating a climate of ideas which would be the precursor to successful political change. Which is precisely what needs to be done - not least in both the Irish and American republics, where the road ahead will be long. (Though perhaps, if we can shift Irish attitudes towards the idea of a native monarchy, some of that will in turn impact on the Irish diaspora...?)<br /><br />Traditionalist - you have my sympathies.

Australia really only avoided becoming a republic because the system on offer was atrocious and that it split the republican vote. The movement will not make that mistake again.<br /><br />The ACM and AML have learnt the lesson, and continue to be quite active (far more so than their republican rivals). New Zealand monarchists are taking note, and the other Commomwealth Realms should also have a look (as should the remaining European monarchies).<br /><br />Oh, and perhaps you should be aware that Juan Carlos' remark to Huga Chavez (Why don't you shut up?) is a popular Spanish ringtone. Of course, the best thing to do is to lead by example and do some yourself. I've got my Mot of the Week post coming up in two days, and I've got one I've had for a while that I hop will show you how its done.Professor Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659779116600213901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669776494971280696.post-13717741795158306642010-03-09T19:08:05.671-08:002010-03-09T19:08:05.671-08:00Hear hear!

I had the same response once when recommending to some British monarchists that they need to head off some potential republican attacks by acting now, in a better environment, as opposed to later. No, of course not, not a thing must be changed! No, we must hold fast! Instead of holding fast, why not think of advancing? It's a wild concept I know...MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.com
