As Celts, we are very much on our path toward a progressive future. After the English Civil Wars of the 1640s-1650s – the absolute monarchy was permanently abolished and has never been bought back. What we have is a “Constitutional Monarchy” that possesses no political power and acts as an unelected Head of State – employed by the democratically elected Parliament – the winner of the Civil War(s). The term “Crown” is a misnomer – as in this instance the term “Crown” refers to “Parliament” – or that (bourgeois) body which now possesses control of the means of production (which it took-off the aristocracy by force of arms – executing King Charles I in the process). Cromwell was centre-left – but after his death, his son was overthrown and a centre-right bourgeois government took its place. It has been this way since 1659 – with every attempt of a Socialist Revolution being defeated. This centre-right bourgeois government even brought back a very weakened CofE, etc. So, the Isle of Mann (Manx) is an island of 85,000 Celts who live on an island in the Irish Sea between West England and East Ireland. The Celts used to occupy all the islands in this part of the world and shared a common identity. There are graves like this in Stonehenge, etc.
