To think, in a few years there will be no House of Lords as we know it, there wil lbe no fox hunting and when old Queeny snuffs it, we will be odds on for a Republic. What great times we are and going to witness. ~:cheers:

And King Louis may be right about privatisation-beyond-repair (partly thanks to Mr Blair, and the soon-to-be fully privatised Royal Mail), he can hardly say that France is a haven of Republicanism. What is this, the 5th republic in 2 centuries?
Gah a Frenchman trying to tell us British how to rule our kingdom, how funny, and JAG you sicken me and the fact your British and wish that the queen dies is also very sickeing, i say we hang him for Treason or throw him out of our wonderful and great Kingdom. Long Love the Queen, fox hunting and the house of lords.
lmfao.
You clearly have no idea about the three main parties policies / manifestos because ALL had very similar policies regarding the house of Lords - reform, reform, reform and abolishment of all hereditory peers. Great isn't it. ~D
Labour won't be out of power until at least 9 more years - you better get used to it if you haven't so far ~D - and I don't care if we are not a kingdom anymore, drop the stupid name a country is nothing but the people, not a name.
The monarchy shall be abolished within our lifetime, it is a certaincy, which is just fine by me. ~D
Get used to it my friend.
GOD SAVE THE REPUBLIC :charge: :charge: :charge: :charge:
Why thank you and I not only care nothing if the Queen dies, but I wouldn't care if all of the monarchy died, it would be as if any other person had died. You know what is even better? An increasing amount of people agree with me plus those who don't are increasingly dieing out. ~DQuote:

But only party members with a life peerage can apply for a seat. The remainder of the seats are for the Lords Spiritual, the Lords of Appeal, and the Crossbenches (also selected from a list of life peers).
Now, if I may make this quite clear, our new primary motives (open to suggestions from the Founders, of course):
To install non-constitutional or constitutional monarchies in:
Germany (we have the Princes and Barons, why not Kaisers?)
France (we don't care if you don't want it!)
Ireland (Irish Kings)
other European countries
To support the Imperialistic (constitutional or not) governments of:
United Kingdom
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
Monaco
Spain
Sweden
Greece
Don't forget Greece is the Hellenic Republic, we need the monarchy back there, perhaps Philip will be willing for that, and we can expand the Empire into the Hellenic Peninsula...
I'm sure that there will be enough support in France for a monarchy, they can't stay with one type of government for more than a century.
Ireland is to rejoin the United Kingdom...
They still have princes and barons in germany?
I think perhaps Irish rule as a monarchy will fit the bill. :bow:
Yes, we still have Princes and Barons in Germany. Or at least we did last time I checked.

We are not fascists, or at least we British members are not. We support equality, just so long as the British are incharge.

I was just wondering if there are any nobles among the ranks of your Imperialistic club?If not,how do you peasants would react if your beloved nobles would reinstate the jus primae noctis? :grin:
That didn't happen here... I wouldn't really care. But not only that, I am not a peasant, I am middle class...
I don't want to interrupt anything, but could you lads grant me a bit of land in the sou'west on The Low Lands - say the Duchy of Breda, just so I can ride around on a horse, save damsels in distress, scare the peasants, that sort of thing. I don't need any colonies to go with it, I'll be perfectly happy without diarrhea, restless natives and other manifest destinies.
Hear hear! ~:cheers: But didn't the original declaration of the rights of man include the sacred right to property? Socialism cuts against the grain somewhat on that one.Quote:

Crazed Rabbit
Yes, your looking at one, at least the heir to one. The real reason JAG is upset with House of Lords is that they aren't a rubber stamp for his beloved Bliar, even with an in-built Labour majority.Quote:
