Labour Group Supports Established Church and Monarchy

According to a report in the Guardian newspaper
the Labour Party’s Fabian Society will recommend that the link between Britain’s hereditary head of state and the Church of England be ended.
But the report of the Society’s so-called commission on the future of the monarchy is said not to recommend that the British monarchy be replaced by a democratic institution, nor that the feudal status of the Anglicanism as a state religion be ended.
The “commission” includes two legislators-for-life, know as “Lords” among its members. According to the The Guardian newspaper a source close to the “commission” said that it wanted the monarchy to be seen as “a modern institution there for all the people of Britain.” Apparently there was no explanation as to why the Fabians did not believe that the British state, which would keep its intimate relationship with the privileged Church of England, should not also be modern and “there” for the people of Britain.
Among the other recommendations expected are greater access to Windsor family palaces and an audit of Crown properties.
