The British Monarchy

BrianW said:
The problem is the full SP is carefully hidden.

Charles and his eldest son can veto any legislation that touches their interests.

Parliament is not allowed, by convention, to debate the monarchy and its antics.

These are just two things that should be abolished.

I'd like to see the monarchy purely ceremonial, couldn't disagree with what you propose.

Ohh, and the list needs thinning out a lot.

How can you say you live in a free country when things like these are a thing….

I suppose it depends on exactly what you mean by 'free country'. See also 'democracy'.

The literal definition of democracy is "people rule"; in other words, every member of a state has equal right to rule. A foundational tenet of any democracy is that all members of a state or society are bound to the same laws, societal, and socioeconomic obligations; in other words, nobody is above the law. Given neither of those ring true for the UK, it's fair to say we don't live in a true democracy. It's illusory.

Particularly when they swear blind that he’s ‘never worked a day in his life’. Why would they expect anything from him if that’s the case?

It’s almost as if they just make shit up as they go along.

If he says anything he's wrong if he says something he's wrong. Fortunately minority activists are dismissed by the people who actually run this country.
 
I’d completely forgotten that he’s up in his castle in Scotland at this time of year. He’ll have his kilt on, he actually assured the Scots that he would every day! He might shoot a few birds and mither a few deer.

He won’t say anything about what’s going on now but he might mention it in his Christmas speech though. Yeah ok.

Happy and glorious etc.
