Probably the healthiest thing to do since that place is such a cesspool. I am so sick of the tribalism on on both sides of the aisle. I was so hopeful for the right for a while.

That complexity disappears when everything is reduced to an Americanised geopolitical slogan.
The majority of citizens don’t view the monarchy as some alien force imposed on them. They see it as part of the country’s structure and identity. For many people, this system works. It provides safety, stability, social and ...
In a poll yesterday, only 25% of Europeans regard the US as an ally. This result would have been unthinkable 10 years ago!
