The Rationality of Monarchy

John Gray on why he believes monarchy - rather than republicanism - is actually a more rational choice for modern Britain.

John Gray puts the case for the monarchy in modern Britain.
'Those who campaign for the abolition of a royal head of state in Britain,' he says, 'seem to me to be in thrall to a simple-minded idea of reason, and fail to grasp the subtler rationality embodied in monarchy.'
