British monarchy keeps UK from coming apart

December 22, 2022

According to an opinion piece in Deutsche Welle:

The queen reliably stood out for her measured and balanced approach at home, which stands in stark contrast to the absence of reliable political leadership in the UK; the country has witnessed the feeble cabinets of four prime ministers in the past decade alone.

Those 10 years were marked by social division and discord… — from the Scottish independence referendum to the Brexit question to the COVID-19 response, there appears to be no sense of social consensus or cohesion in Britain anymore.

However, the queen remained a rare constant though it all, serving as the glue that holds the UK together.
