The death of Elizabeth II: an opening for a republican and federal ... (thenewfederalist.eu)

Changes in political systems worldwide have generally been borne out of a mix of times of crisis and an end of certainties. Look at the French (...)

With the Scottish independence movement asking for a new referendum and the steady growth in support for Irish reunification, the risk of a fragmentation of the country may bring more parties, besides the LibDems and Greens, to bet on a political rearrangement along federalist lines as a solution. And the possibility (though not certainty) of a limited breakup of the country, be it either due to Scottish independence or Northern Ireland reunifying with the Republic of Ireland, could trigger a rebound effect in support for the monarchy given the role of sovereigns as the highest symbol of national identity and unity in present nation-states of a royal nature. The slow but steady acceptance of federalism as a cure for the United Kingdom’s perceived failure as a state during the post-Brexit referendum years and ever increasing mistrust for politics could be paving the way for a serious discussion on a federal reform for Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Many explanations are to be found for that, with his separation from widely popular princess Diana and outspoken activism for certain causes such as nature protection (a clean break from the tradition of monarchs who keep their opinions and beliefs to themselves and far from the public eye) laying at the heart of the issue. However, with her disappearance, a strong symbol of Britishness disappears as a moment of certain trauma comes for the over 83% of British citizens (those born since 1952) who’ve just had her as their monarch. In 2021, a [report commissioned by the Labour Party](https://www.scottishlabourleft.co.uk/uploads/6/4/8/1/6481256/remaking_the_british_state_for_the_many_not_the_few_final_report_v2.pdf) was released which aimed at establishing a “progressive federalism” for the United Kingdom with strong co-decision elements. As an example, the only parties in the UK with representation above the local level that support a republican form of government are Sinn Féin and [this video excerpt](https://twitter.com/itvcalendar/status/1567102473826885637) that has become trending in the days leading to her entry into office in which she stated that “I’m against the idea that people can be born to rule, that people, because of the family they’re born into, should be able to be the head of state of our country. Support for a federal solution for the United Kingdom’s problems has come from parties too. A telling example of that is that the newly appointed Prime Minister, Liz Truss, openly held republican ideas back in the early 1990’s as we can see from With that comes an economic crisis, linked to the fallout of the Russo-Ukrainian war but also to the lack of proper planning for the aftermath of a seemingly never-ending Brexit. The country is afflicted by acute political instability, as evidenced by the fact that the UK has seen 4 different Prime Ministers belonging to the same party in 6 years (an unprecedented feat in its post-war period) and two early elections.

There are already people talking about the “need” to build monuments and statues for QEII, and one of the proposals is that a QEII statue should be erected on the “Fourth Plinth” in Trafalgar Square. It was the same with Prince Philip – the death certificate isn’t going into the nitty-gritty of exactly what was going on, even though several people said “cancer” for both Elizabeth and Philip. I get that they had to inform the rest of the family before they announced it, but jeez, I really did believe that they were supposed to announce it faster than they did.
