In the UK in particular for me I would like to see UGLE stripped down a little to much of a lumbering Dinosaur for my liking. In order to move with the times it needs to be nimbler and more ready to move. I believe the Marquis of Northampton is going to be a big driving force both now and in the future. But I think for Masonry to be more readily acceptable for todays society I think we need to look at retiring links to British Monarchy. And definatley more openly advertised for membership in the media.
As a UK Mason I would agree that some changes would be a good thing. However I am not in favor of retiring the Monarchy. As with the Country I believe that absolute power corrupts absolutely, I would not like to see the politicians have absolute power in any form.
I have for some time tried to get support for a more democratic system, where members elect people to the office of decision. I see no reason why this should be a problem in the future. One member one vote.
