Royal Family abusing their power

Of that census the 59% Christian need to be split 51.1% Protestant 7.9% Catholic.

Catholics are still a religous miniroty in this country and mainly come form imigrant families or decendents, predominently of Irish or polish background, and centered in major cities (As our cities like most cities rely on rural migrant and imigrat workforces and wouldn't function without it). As a minority and living and working in major mainly cities and until the last 30 years were still subject to prejudice many would always have supported the party of the working class and poor.

This has shifted slightly as the change to lump us in with the prods and peoples general disinterest in christianity so the sectarianism seen in previous generations in cities like Manchester/Liverpool/Leeds only really is seen in Scotland and NI where the divide is still prominent, not feeling like a represed minority means you don't necessarily choose the party that traditionally makes sense.

Now youcwill see more non practicing christians/left footers vote not in traditional lines or those who want to help the most disadvantaged.

Personally as a lapse catholic, as many others I know are (and christians for that matter) who are only religious because of their baptism and not through praticing faith, I find it unecessary to have a monarch endorsing any faith and we should promote seculism and no national religion. 51.1% Christian and 7.9% catholic masked that most who identify as that are more likely not worshipers but irreligious.

Of course the nation should be secular, it should also allow freedom to practice religion of a persons choosing of course. Having a Monarch who is head of state and church is ridiculous. Funnily enough Johnson is the first baptised Catholic to become PM although Blair became a Catholic whilst PM.

Catholics were also until quite recently barred under some act going back to James 3rd or something, from marrying into the royal family, that is how archaic the institution is/was. You couldn't have a catholic Monarch because they would be subject to the Papacy and as head of the Anglican Church that would be not acceptable. It would funny though if it did happen to see all the religious nutters in apoplexy
 
What would be even funnier is for things to continue as they are and for the republicans and commies to continue to cry.
