Stability of Monarchy vs Chaos of Government

Even die-hard republicans, such as myself, are voicing muted approval of the pageantry that surrounded the Old Queen's funeral. Why is this?

I think I have an answer; it's because the monarchy personifies stability and continuity (despite a few wobbles along the path), whereas our government has been in permanent chaos since 2016, with 4 Prime Ministers so far. That chaos is now set to increase, as the government sanctions inflation busting bonus increases for bankers of up to twice their salaries (and laying the ground for a return to the 2008 financial crisis, caused by excessive risk taking in the pursuit of financial gain), while a 7% increase at the bottom of the pyramid for public sector workers unable to pay bills is simply too much to countenance. Perhaps the government thinks the bonuses will trickle down to public sector workers..

Republicans are casting a glance over the fence and envying the stability that the monarchy, under Queen Elizabeth, has shown. It's therefore an understandable and emotional reaction against instability.

One thing I've come to realise is that before abolishing the monarchy, we first need to fix our democratic system. By that I mean the elimination of massive political donations that give corporations and individuals unrepresentative and undemocratic influence on policy, and the adoption of Proportional Representation to more accurately represent the electorate.

I wonder whether Charles III will introduce a mandatory retirement age for the monarchy - perhaps 80 would be a good retirement age.
