    You can hate someone and what they stand for without wanting them to get cancer. Call me an old bleeding heart, but I don’t think it’s very healthy to wish death on anyone.

      When the system of government is literally based on succession through death, you kind of open yourself up to such questions.

        Yeah, that’s the problem here, right? If you wish him away, there is only one way.

          It’s not the only way, he could abdicate for one thing. There’s the possibility of democratic abolition of the monarchy (but if you go by opinion polls it doesn’t have enough public support at the moment).

          You can wish for the abolition of the monarchy (in a non-guillotine sort of way)
