    I have a soft spot for royalty.

    Far too much ponciness about the royalists for me...and anyone who decides to slot their own monarch is fine in my book!

    Commonwealth forces any day for me!

    I am republican by sentiment and my head other than spherical, so it's a "neither" for me.

    Back in the day it would have been for Parliament.
    No Divine King for me.

    Today though, it'd be other way around.

    I tend to go along with Owen.

    In the days of the Charles I there were the haves and the have nots, the have nots being in the very large majority. I would have been for Parliament and do away with the divine right of kings.

    Now I would back Monarchy as things have changed over the years.

    I am a Monarchist at heart (voted against the Republic in the Referendum), but in a final power play, the people must prevail.

    Odd one, because ever since we've been a republic with a royal as head of state and called it a constituonal monarchy.

    I voted neither, but at a push would go for both...

    Being an Irishman I've no love for Cromwell so I'll side with the royalists!

    In the 1640s it would have been Parliament: a Cromwell's far better than a Stuart. Nowadays, I'd lean towards the other side as the German replacement has been a lot more reliable.
