Although I am a constitutional monarch as the head of the United Kingdom, I am greatly worried about the rapid increase of liberalism in my kingdom. Although the people have not shown a desire to go to the great extremes of Karl Marx and his communist co-founders, they have engaged in a form of reforming liberalism that I greatly hope to see an end to. For example, they have begun with the simple repeal of the Corn Laws, although I must admit that they did favor the upper classes. They have proceeded to demand labor rights, and I cannot see a forseeable end to the unrestrained democracy. They call for the equality and suffrage of the lower class, which I simply do not have the time to deal with. Politics should be reserved for the higher classes, though I feel powerless to stop the lower class wretches. Romanticism seems to be the key behind it all, inspiring a sense of daring and risk as well as drama that has simply taken Europe by storm.
Additionally, the situation of the urban dwellers continues to get worse and worse, and soon I feel that they will no longer contain their emotions. The poorest live in deplorable conditions with little to no food, and though I could care less, there are too many of them to be disregarded altogether. The liberalist ideas are especially appealing to these fools, who believe that all sorts of reforms will help improve their lousy lives. I cannot explain the anxiety that this sweeping thought and action is causing in my conservative world.
