There are 2 ways of approaching this issue:
1. Embrace tradition and uphold current succession policy.
2. Reject tradition, do away with the monarchy and become a republic.
I just hate the way 21st Century liberal egalitarianism is afflicting our time-honoured traditions. Don't keep chipping away at tradition, either keep it or bin it. I say keep it.
Moreover, what does this change add to our culture? And why are people concerned specifically with the gender of a future heir? Where's the legislation permitting Muslim, Hindu or dare I say it Catholic monarchs? Equal opportunities and all that.
At least Nick Clegg is happy

Or a much better 3rd choice - steadily update the tradition so that you have some of the better/more beneficial elements of both worlds.
You know, like churches performing gay marriages.

Update and tradition are not two words that go well together. Like I have said, where will it end? If the Prince's son converts to Islam to marry a pretty Iranian girl he meets at Bristol Uni, should their child be heir to our throne?

Really? I see tradition and modernity working hand in hand every day of the week, it's pretty much a hallmark of this nation.
And, yes they should. Religion should play no part. |

If were really lucky we'll end up with a monarch who doesn't get religion forced down his/her throat and can make his/her own decisions.
Imagine that.

Option 3 - throw away intolerance and embrace the fact that a female monarch hasn't done all that badly in the past 60 years, nor did the female monarch before her.
I realise that its the intolerance thats the sticking bit for you, but try really hard to look at the evidence and you'll see it works. |

Well of course, but they are useful for doing the washing up after the weekly PM's meeting, a King would never do that. |

Well clearly there are more choices than those two since neither of those has been adopted.

I vote option two. Thanks for your support Kirky.
