I have already told you. I don't believe in born privilege and consider the whole issue undemocratic. That alone means a Republic is better. Now please explain why a Monarchy, or even a constitutional Monarchy if you will, is better than a Republic without me needing to copy and paste everything I have already written and for you to shout out "strawman" as if you are a victim.
When everyone said the EU would collapse after Brexit, continental Europe has never been so united than it is today. So where is the evidence that it is unstable and has no continuity? If anything it is progressing and becoming a truly great global player. Hence why the haters can't stop hating. They fear the end of American Imperialism. That being so, under your own logic the UK should remain in the EU.

If you keep diverging into non-issues like climate and responding to imaginary arguments, I'm going to take this as a concession that you just don't have a case and that, as I posited at the outset of our discussion, republicans always come to this debate with lots of very strong convictions but ultimately empty-handed.

The EU is the risky experiment, although this is hardly ever acknowledged, and as such constitutes the polar opposite of stability and continuity.
