"Not My King"

What do the protesters mean by this placard? Do they mean they'd accept someone else as their 'king'?

Personally, I'd prefer that they said "NO KING!" rather than "Not My King." The latter implies that they'd be fine with some sort of monarch who was more to their liking; in other words, a sort of 'meritocratic' or preferential elitism, which, as much as I'm in principle against a hereditary monarchy, might actually be worse than the present system (there's NOTHING worse than a powerful tyrant who *genuinely believes* they've somehow 'earned' their elite status; it's ANATHEMA to humility, which, ironically, makes it MORE TOXIC, and FAR less honest, than a system in which people are simply born with a 'divine right', and thus recognise, no matter how subconsciously, that they're extremely LUCKY and FORTUNATE to be where they are).

So, like I say, "Not My King" is a BULLSHIT slogan. NO KING, or indeed queen, is a far better slogan which makes it CLEAR than any form of supreme ruler, whether they're born into the position, or 'earned it' (and let's be 100% FUCKING HONEST for once; NO ONE earns anything of any value; it's always given to them, or the consequence of *MANY* people's work and help rather than the efforts of a single supposedly 'exceptional' *sigh* 🙄🤦‍♂️ individual), is problematic.
