Is Charles too political to make a good constitutional monarch?

“I have dedicated much of my life to the restoration of harmony between humanity, nature and the environment, and to the encouragement of corporate social and environmental responsibility. Quite frankly, it has been a bit of an uphill struggle. But, now, it is time to take it to the next level.

“In order to secure our future and to prosper, we need to evolve our economic model. Having been engaged in these issues since I suppose 1968, when I made my first speech on the environment, and having talked to countless experts across the globe over those decades, I have come to realise that it is not a lack of capital that is holding us back, but rather the way in which we deploy it. Therefore, to move forward, we need nothing short of a paradigm shift, one that inspires action at revolutionary levels and pace. With this in mind, I am delighted to be launching a Sustainable Markets Initiative, with the generous support of the World Economic Forum.”

This man is about to take an oath promising to govern us according to our laws and customs. But he actually wants to do away with such customs as being able to choose what sort of transport to buy, and being able to use the Kings highway without impediment. Because of his long held ideological stances and alignments, he is not respected by a large proportion of the people in the disunited kingdom. Tough times for pro-monarchists.

We know what sort of ‘experts’ Charles has been talking to. We also know he’s led a sheltered life of immense privilege and comfort. He has no idea what it’s like to dread opening a gas and electricity bill.

It’s time for that debate. Listen to a bit more of what King Charles has to say.

    This is a wholly political statement. That it is justified by his neo-romantic “balance with nature” nonsense doesn’t change that. He wants to radically change our economic system. That’s a political aim. He should not become king.

    The King is following in his Dad’s footsteps :
    Prince Philip”s ARC, now called : International Network for Conservation and Religion

    is the Royal blue-print.
    And the King made it clear that he will be the “Defender of faiths”, not just his Anglican Church.
    Exactly the blue-print above. As they say Climate is a religion when Helsinki nominated Greta Thunberg for a Doctorate in Theology. Duchess, anyone?

    “Charlatanism of some degree is indispensable to effective leadership. There can be no mass movement without some deliberate misrepresentation of facts. No solid, tangible advantage can hold a following and make it zealous and loyal unto death. The leader has to be practical and a realist, yet must talk the language of the visionary and the idealist.
    Originality is not a prerequisite of great mass movement leadership. One of the most striking traits of the successful mass movement leader is his readiness to imitate both friend and foe, both past and contemporary models. The daring which is essential to this type of leadership consists as much in the daring to imitate as in the daring to defy the world. Perhaps the clue to any heroic career is an unbounded capacity for imitation; a single-minded fashioning after a model. This excessive capacity for imitation indicates that the hero is without a fully developed and realized self. There is much in him that is rudimentary and suppressed. His strength lies in his blind spots and in plugging all outlets but one.”–Eric Hoffer, The True Believer, 1951

    Visionaries. Dissatisfied within, they rage without to force the world into conformance.

    We should ask his flowers, after all I assume he is still talking to them.

    In my opinion Princess Anne is the one that should be crowned not Charles. She does the most for the kingdom.
