Chris you should quit, as you are making yourself sound pretty silly, every single point you have made Hamas been answered intellectually, and yet you still keep trying to peddle your anti royal bile !!!chris_m said:Lavinda Past said:chris_m said:Tell me when they were elected?
Whether they're popular or not, they should have no right to rule (even though they are basically a figurehead today) unless elected, surely? I don't want a debate on President Blair etc, just surely this is a basic tenet of democracy?
Do you understand what a democracy is? Do we live under a dictator? Is the UK ruled by autocrats? Would being a republic make the UK a better place to live?
We in the UK live in probably the most democratic society in the world. The Queen, as you say, is little more than a figurehead; she doesn't actually rule anything.
As people used to say during the cold war - if you're not happy here, why don't you try living in Russia. You just don't realise how well off you are!
Britain may not be so 'great' anymore, but our history puts most of the world to shame. Today is a celebration of that history. Just try to enjoy it you miserable bastards!
But surely the Monarchy is an inherently anti-democratic institution, as the Head of State is not elected, it has nothing to do with how democratic the rest of the society is.

They give royalty a bad name. Sheik Mansour and his family run the UAE what does Windsor do other than wear ugly hats, attend garden parties and generally parade around?
Viva la republic.
