I have and in previous posts you've admitted that small portions of your own military would support such a cause. I don't understand how this has been answered when not a single reply has addressed the question. Do you think it impossible for politicians to be bribed? Mercenary to be hired? Military personnel to be swayed?
I want to know what happens 20, 30, 50 years down the road when the King decides he wants his crown back and has the money and power to do so.

Blocked. As in how? That's not legal? How does parliament stop a hostile takeover especially one with which politicians are bribed? How does a largely disarmed population prevent such a thing? I know it's not legal. I know there are laws in place. How would they be enforced through a hostile takeover by your own crown especially if the crown has support?

I, as an American, feel it my duty to warn my brothers and sisters across the pond of what should really be a bigger concern than it is as we speak. Now, we can go through a historical lesson here, but I'll save you the speech. The fact is, all this "the queen has no power" crap needs to stop. I wont even argue that point even though I honestly believe the woman has immensely more power than she lets on.
The problem that I see is that, even if the Queen doesn't have any significant power, how many generations will it take? Do you honestly believe that, given the history of royalty, someone won't take the throne and want that power back? The UK is already talking about leaving the EU. Who is going to stop the next tyrant King from bringing his throne back to where it's been historically? The disarmed people of the UK? Where is the resistance to such a move especially with the UK moving away from the EU?
That's really the only point I want to make here. I've spoken to a good amount of Brits and I haven't heard one actually welcome the idea of royalty regaining their true power. The point I make is that the wheels are in motion. The UK is not immune to history and the world really does not need another King George.
Fire is a powerful ally but a dangerous foe and Brits, you're playing with fire.

Monorachic take back event? Explain that to me. It's been used in a much abstract, understanding in another thread, used to de-rail it. What is the term monorachic? What does it mean?

what happens if Charles takes the crown? The man everyone thinks to be a loon? What happens if decrees himself supreme ruler?
He'll get a good kick in the China Dolls and told to behave himself.....
From who? The UK is disarmed. Who is going to tell him to behave himself?
