The British Monarchy

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

The better than having a President argument is nonsense. You only have to look at the Kings and Queens of Britain throughout history to see what despicable cretins they've been and atrocities carried out in their name.

The Monarchy wield whatever soft power they have, when it is in their financial interests to do so.

I believe the cult of personality took over a long time ago and, that most vote depending on the leader of the party, not the party itself.

Well the media certainly proved your point with the awful treatment dished out to Corbyn prior to the last election

 

[Bill Walker]

That would surely require a referendum.
Personally I feel it would be a good time after all the mourning of her Majesty to abolish all titles, Earl's, Duke's, Marquis, etc etc.
Also the House of Lords which the UK taxpayer is funding.

Just to add......If this Royalty thing is carried on with and if Charlie care's as much as his Mother did about the role of Royalty, he would hand succession now to William and miss his go, the guy's is a weak fuckwit who cheated on his wife from day 1, and his wife has the morals of an alleycat.
But he doesn't care imo, he want's his name in history.

Thought there would be the usual republicans spouting their crap the instant she died!

And Charles is the first King to have had a mistress?
Maybe he should have had Diana's head chopped off like Henry VIIII and become a widower, to avoid being a divorcee?
And how many illegitimate kids did Edward VII have?
Plus the rest of them...

It always makes me laugh when people discuss whether Charles is fit to be king. That's the point of having a king. You don't get a choice. He's gonna be king whether he's fit to be or not. Then again, it's not as if democracy has given us a long line of competent leaders.

I also don't get the criticism of Charles. It's not like he's been out shagging randoms on the side. He had an affair with someone and then married her. How many millions of people do that?

But william is the same, at least 2 affairs (one while she was preggers) and has a official concubine fir all his anal play, also a **** with his brother.

In charlies time he was told who to marry despite it not being who he wanted too.

If you weigh it up Wills is a bigger prick than his dad

 

[Matt the Giant]

Who is (was?) your King?

The Swedish King.

Sugests you do have a choice if we accept a monarch corination and reign, as either the establishment, parliament or public sentiment has seen all forced to abdicate or in one case die

 

[mexico1970]

Even if we abolish the monarchy we will have an establishment, the monarchy will endure and for a considerably long time to come.

 

[Don Karleone]

The Swedish King.
