LOL Well I dont think that will happen any time soon, unless ofcourse you are found out to be the sucessor when the whole Royal family was to be killed. Hoever there is an estimated 800 Royal family members on the sucessor line.
Her Majesty's Governments response to the abolishion of the Monarchy: "The Monarchy is a vital element of our constitution, and personifies both national and commonwealth unity. As a result of a long process of evolution, during which the Monarch's absolute power has been progressively reduced, The Sovereign acts on the advice of Her Ministers. Britain is governed by Her Majesty's government in the name of The Queen. The Government fully supports the Monarchy and the continuation of the Crown." Suck on that Republicans.
Ho-ho-ho! Aren't you a funny little ****? Don't question my intelligence by the fact you can see alcohol in my signature, because frankly that means shit. So, you don't want to question me intelligently, but you'd rather point out something in the attempt to say 'Hahaha! Look at him! He knows fuck all!' You'll get nowhere in life if you try and point out the flaws of others, when you think their intelligence is deemed obsolete to yours. :nopity:
I cant stand the people. They look odd, sound odd and are stinking rich for no valid reason at all Stick your words about economy and crowns and British pride, i dont care, its not right
i couldn't agree more with you, Luke. besides the fact that the first two sentences in this response made me laugh.
Well most reasonbly intellgent people dont use 'f**k' and 'c**t' in thier come back sentances, because they can think of better proper words to say. ANd as for pheonix_indigo, I wasnt even talking to you so but out you. As for me I have control over my language and actions and dont flip out like a cocky retrebate. Anyways if I was alittle to harsh on you please be a man and except my most humble apologies.
Hahaha! You think that swearing makes you stupid? Some of the most intelligent men and women in the world swear. It's just another word, and you're the stupid one for thinking they're unintelligent. Pfft! Also, what the bloody hell does 'retrebate' mean? It isn't even a word, and it was so forcefully shoved into that response that it only shows your lack of knowledge of the English language (how long did it take you to think up that word, including a definition?). Don't get high and mighty on an internet forum, because you don't know who you're talking to. Also, Phoenix can say whatever the hell she wants because this is a forum which attracts the whole purpose of being able to give opinions; she was just giving hers, like I was giving mine. You think I'm stupid? Well, I think you're a **** for making an assumption about me (Oooo! Isn't it a vicious circle?). End of. But please, do tell me how the monarchy has effected me personally and exactly what they do for my country? Oh, and I accept your apology, but I don't have to apologise back. So don't expect me to.
What does that prove to be sucked on by the republicans? So the Government supports the monarchy. That doesn't mean the general population has to do so too.
It is worthy of republican sucking, because it means that the Monarchy is staying so Republicans will be mad.
I don't think anyone was expecting the monarchy to be abandoned in favour of a republic any time soon, not even the people who are wishing so.
Very well, still there is no need for cursing. But if you wish. And please dont insult my knowlage of the English language, retrebate was a typo, it was meant to say retrobate: 1. A morally unprincipled person. , however if YOUR knowlage of the English language was sufficient you would have noticed that, and my dyslexia doesnt effect my knowlage of the English language. Bythe way I wasnt apologising for judging you I was apologising if you were offended. JUST MY OPINION AS YOU SEEM TO BE IN SUPPORT OF. Ok enough of the Tom-foolery. The Monarchy does not effect your day-to-day life niether does fishing or tennis but doesnt mean they are wrong. Politics rarly effects peoples day-to-day life but we still are in support of it (unless you are an Anarchist). The Monarchy provides a vital role in the Commonwealth of Nations, which is bound by oath by the Queen because of its colonial decents. She also plays a vital role in the Constitution (thus Constitutional Monarchy) Her Majesty has to sign to Acts of Parliment which could with the modern Governemnt could indeed be corrupt. People say "If she was to ever refuse an Act of Parliment, we would simply abolish the Monarchy" alow me to make a small sernario (SP): Parliment agrees without referendum from the British public, to replace GB Pound Sterling with the European Union Euro. Most people are agianst this and so is Her Majesty. She refuses the Act of Parliement (because the now corrupt House of Lords has excepted it by this point) and the Euro scheme is stopped. The Pound Sterling is continued as the Kingdoms currency. The people are happy, the Monarch is happy because her people are and the Ministers are angry. EVERYONE is Happy. The End As you can see the Monarchy is worth the keeping, we could easly get rid of them, section them off onto a private estate where they live normal lives of no particular importance....BUt why bother.
Ma'am they are rich for a very valid reason. The Monarch has to pay nearly three times as much tax as the average British citizen. SHe also has a Palace to maintain. If you have a very demanding job, you deserve a very demanding wage. CAPEESH. The QUeen since the beginnig of her riegn in 1952 has NEVER had a single day offf work. I think she deserves a pretty good amount of money. People complained when Windsor Castle went alight and we were made to pay tax for it. IT COST AN AVERAGE OF 3PENCE PER PERSON hardly a lump some of our wages, and plus the Queen had to pay an average of 6 POUNDS compared to us. Sounds like you are a bit of a Snob to judge people by how they look and sound. Just a hunch!
The word is REPROBATE! But anyway, why should the nation's money go to an elitist family? What do they do other than act as a symbol of the Empire and it's tyranny? They have no importance to me, or Wales, in anyway...Just like tennis.
The Monarchy may not effect you; there for if all your concern is for yourself then be it so, and I see your point about Elitist and Imperialist features, however they play an important role in the functioning of British politics People-House of Commons-HOuse of Lords-Monarch etc It is all apart of the way things work democrtically and Monarchically. All this the Monarch serves as a symbol of identity, you may say that the those things dont matter. BUt in the scale of things they do, we cant go on in life only living off things that actually matter, we smoke but we its not important, we do it because we like to. We have to have things which spruce things up, in a political argumtent this is false, but in this argument i believe it is valid. I love to see my Monarch in all thier glory standing before the people, what I wouldnt like to see is a British George Bush standing up in a a suit shouting "Killl the Jews". Republics suck.
The reason a monarch has not attempted to exercise such a right for 300 years is because in practice no such right exists. The Commons and the House of Lords are the highest offices of political power, the queen can in theory advise the PM but her role is otherwise entirely symbolic, she has no right to refuse the bidding of Parliament, and rightly so - I would not trust the judgement of an unaccountable, inbred and somewhat senile pensioner to make a decision of any importance on my behalf...
Demanding job...palace to maintain...you are JOKING right!?! Also, i didnt realise believing it is wrong that some old bat and her family members were given heaps of money for doing absolutely nothing of much use while millions suffer and starve made anyone a snob (But no doubt youll have some retort to that which of course cancels out my whole point. But naturally, it wont really)
I see your point and it is some what valid, however that right does exist in the Constitution even though it is unlikly it will ever happen. I STROGNLY dissagree with you when you go onto say: "I would not trust the judgement of an unaccountable, inbred and somewhat senile pensioner to make a decision of any importance on my behalf" Her Majesty is the most politically experienced person on this earth, she has the best mental and physical health care and her judgements/advise to 11 Prime Minister and have always been for the benifit of our Island Nation. The Prime Minister often acts on behalf of Her Majesty. Acording to most mainstream knowlage sources the Queen by Constitutional right is classed as the most politically powerful figure head on earth. Wikipedia: "Constitutionally, the Queen is an ESSENTIAL part of the legislative process of her Realms. IN PRACTICE, much of the Queen's role in the legislative process is ceremonial, as her RESERVE powers are rarely exercised." But she still holds the right to use them. ALthough wikipedia says: "IN PRACTICE, she personally EXERCIES virtually no political executive power." Again She still holds the Constitutional right to.
Correct I will, and Incorrect it will. The Queen is Patron of these Charities: The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) Canadian Medical Association The Kennel Club NSPCC Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Queen Elizabeth Hospital for Children The Royal School of Church Music The Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge (SPCK) The Boys' Brigade Queens' College, Cambridge Visitor of Christ Church, Oxford Visitor of Westminster School And donator to over 18 more. And you think she does nothing for her job, you really have got to one of the most narrowminded unpolitically educated people I have ever came across. AND I CAN GOD-DARN WELL SAY WHAT EVER I WANT SO DONT GO SAYING,,,,EHHHH YOU CANT SAY THAT ABOUT ME!!
