BMS Chairman Thomas Mace-Archer-Mills has squared off against republic CEO Graham Smith in a cultural exercise by The Economist. Asked to defend the monarchist’s point of view and then to try and put himself in the republican point of view to relate to and sympathise with, Mr Mace-Archer-Mills brings forward the points in which he, along with the vast majority of the United Kingdom, are in fact monarchists.
