I genuinely believe that the monarchy is A Good Thing for this country, culturally and politically, as it helps to ensure a sense of continuity and stability which I suspect is a great comfort to the national psyche.
However. I would not swear allegiance as I have no faith in, nor loyalty to this country. I would not betray its interests to the advantage of another nation, but I don't feel like I belong here any more, I don't feel part of this country, and I don't believe I could rely on it for anything.

(That may sound harsh, but it's how I feel).
