That's egg on the face of those dour miserable republicans who want to have vastly expensive presidential elections every 4 years electing politicians who half the country don't want. like President Blair and
Vice President Prescott .
what happens if half the country don't want Charles, modeller? Shouldn't they get a chance to have their say, just as opponents of Blair did? His popularity has been as low as 34% (after Diana's death).
We got rid of Edward viii . His support was so low he was forced to abdicate, but support for Charles is largely irrelevant . Our monarch
has no power and could be kicked out any time the people decided they no longer wanted them. The trooping the colour has little to do with the royals but rather is a symbol of Great Britain which is recognised throughout the world.
jake ' "It must be nice to get to tug your forelocks and look up to your superiors . " Who are your superiors jake ? A bunch of corrupt politicians ! Tell me if we had a president which of the current bunch of politicians would you choose. If instead of the Queen how about Diane Abbott as president. ?
Sadly, Fearne Cotton has bleated that people who criticised her "Royal" performance are (and I quote) "bullies". Obviously never been really bullied, then.
Come on jake what are you waiting for ?
Tell us who you would replace the monarch with ?
How about one of your favourite trade union leaders. ?
Bob Crow might be a good choice . Think what he could do for the country .
The Queen is only a symbol and not allowed to interfere with our government but Bob would have a lot have a lot to say.
How about your hero Arthur Scargill isn't he looking for another job ?
When they talk about Presidents instead of a monarchy they always quote ala Geo Bush. But who can name the president of Germany, France, etc. They are just nobodies!
