Burkean conservatism is retarded anyway, he advocated for nothing more than slow paced revolution. In the long run nothing is left of the order he cherished, in France, in Britain or anywhere in the world. Britain may be nominally an absolute monarchy, de facto it's a republic as everywhere save the Vatican and a couple oil monarchies.

It's called reformation.

Because Enlightenment sophistry won and the French Revolution was its victory dance.
>Britain may be nominally an absolute monarchy, de facto it's a republic as everywhere
No, Britain respects their monarch and it's more than a formality: Britain remained conservative while the entire Europe was radicalised because they know how to respect tradition. It's not a coincidence that the UK still has conservatives in power and they left the EU just a month ago. France on the other hand has no identity, no purpose, no history, no culture. Burke was right and the UK understood it even if not immediately, which is why they're still a monarchy.

Too many seething pseuds itt who don't understand that the Revolution was the logical consequence of late Ancient Regime and absolute monarchy. The most important pro-revolutionary politician was Louis XIV, although that was unwittingly. But had he wanted to plant the seed of a Revolution a few decades after his death without explicitly renouncing the throne, he would hardly have acted differently.

Also it's not like people were faced with a "Revolution" button and a "keep everything the exact same" button and that they foolishly pressed the first one. Event sescaped the control of everyone.

Nigga what. Britain has been the forefront of progressivism and liberalism since those two things exist. The king hasn't been much more than a formality (or a tourist attraction) since at least the end of WW1.

> It's not a coincidence that the UK still has conservatives in power
You mean the one who shilled for deregulated finance for decades? British "conservatism" is just American savagery wearing a bowtie.

Indeed, Burkean conservatism failed because he didn't acknowledge that the political order he was defending in Britain was itself intrinsically revolutionnary. Thus instead of being violently uprooted king, nobility, clergy were slowly and gently sidelined.
>Because Enlightenment sophistry won and the French Revolution was its victory dance.
Thanks to a century of english ideas permeating France.

The Queen is a meme, she has no political power whatsoever. British royals give material to rags and that's it.
Britain is functionally a republic and at that an irrelevant poodle of a bigger republic, the USA.

Constitutional monarchy is a monarchy that has gone irrelevant as it was sidelined by its parliament that actually rule the country. The difference with a parliamentary republic is purely nominal.

It was fueled by the decline of France under Louis XV after the golden age of Louis XIV. France had been Europe's greatest nation in the 17th century. The memory of that greatness lived on as France decayed under the Sun King's successors. A great people will always demand their rightful place on the world stage.

The reality is that the secularization and centralization of the French government made the French revolution almost inevitable.

Napoleon essentially became the ideal of the 'modernized' French monarchy, without the aristocracy realizing it.
