Bonus! Our Head of State can now be a woman, even if there’s another option. Plus s/he can marry a Catholic (though naturally, she can’t actually be one, like say, me: a secular atheist who was baptised a Mick – and all my relatives).
Obviously, I've always wanted to be part of nation that wouldn't have people like me as top dog.
Thanks Commonwealth, for updating the irrelevance of the peevish and shitty Restoration prejudices we call our Constitution.

What a strange issue to generate such hetupedicity. Male primogeniture is far from the weirdest part of the way our head of state is chosen for us.
Personally, I think arm-wrestling or sabres should be involved, but then I'm a traditionalist in such matters.
Well, as some Melanesian Hemingway might have said, with arm-wrestling, you at least get the Big Man.
I know Im totally irreligious etc, mais se shitez-moi quite a bit that everyone in my family - Micks all - cant by law be head of the state we are citizens of. Let's not kid ourselves, thats really quite shite - even by low world standards.
If only they were quite as irrelevant as people imagine: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/oct/30/prince-charles-offered-veto-legislation

Neither can I or any other member of my family. BFD.
As implied earlier, the traditional method of dynastic regime change involved killing the previous thugocracy and replacing them with thine own murderous spawn. I don't see any problem* with you trying it on with the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. If you looked like you had a chance I might even back you - for shits & giggles, like.
If you don't like the game, change the rules. It's good to be the king.
*Apart from Teh Treason thing, natch.
Sadly, I fear we're past dynastic change via biffo. It certainly was more larfs in those days. And now they fish for brides outside the company pier, there's not even the the spectacle of DNAstic decline.
That said, I do think its more than passing BULLSHITSKI that our largest single religion, per the census, is statute barred from producing the HOS. I mean, try explaining that anyone who isnt invited to CHOGM.

Aye. Say what you like about the Hapsburgs, but they did have a core competency in cousin-fucking.

Crikey, mate. Keep on like that and people'll think you're a republican.
Dios mio, nunca chingas a tu prima Juan Snr!
Yes,cousining brought down several Egyptian dynasties too. Back to our theme, I like the piccy circa WW1 where the British and Russian monarchs are essentially the same dude. http://newsfromnowhere1948.blogspot.com/2010/06/cross-dressing-cousins.html
