Views on monarchy edit

I removed a quote from the Earl of Onslow about the monarchy on the grounds that I couldn't find any independent coverage of this statement, nor can I find any evidence that his position on the monarchy is generally notable. I could be persuaded to include this, if there is evidence that it is noteworthy, but as it stands, it is a very short quote from a live television interview, and it's impossible to judge how seriously it should be taken.

Him being in favor of the monarchy is not surprising, but the concept that only monarchy makes the governance of humanity possible is a very bold and strong claim, and not one we should casually pin on the man's encyclopedia article without some additional evidence that he holds this exact position.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 19:39, 25 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
