Why do we need to become a republic, we are already a democracy. The Queen has no powers so leave it be. She rules in name only. How many times has she overruled government ? Never.......

Re: Great Britain: Republic or Monarchy?
Sorry to interrup but I think that the real problem has to faces: 1- It proposes a formal unequality. 2- It proposes a real unequality when the royal family has to do nothing to survive while "lesser" beings have to look for a job. That alone is enough at least for me.Originally Posted by ShadesWolf

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: Great Britain: Republic or Monarchy?
Looking back I have to say I have a problem with the saxons
a) for invading in the first place...Buncha pansies, they should have fought the Huns & died like men
b) for then letting a bunch of normans take over
This seems to have led to the monarchy always being made up of foreigners, (that includes Scots').
*Fun Fact* William Wallace - Wallace means Welshman
Tom Jones would make a better king than Bruce imnsho
Re: Great Britain: Republic or Monarchy?
In the UK, the Scots aren't foreigners, but are a contingent of the UK.
Secondly, Wallace may mean Welshman, but that doesn't mean Sir William Wallace was Welsh.
Thirdly, Sir William Wallace and King Robert the Bruce were unrelated/
It was not theirs to reason why,
It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

Re: Great Britain: Republic or Monarchy?
HAHA! A bite!
I was thinking James I rather than ol' Brucey boy...And I'm thinking of a wordOh yes! PICT
That's the one, remeber the Irish settlers who called themselves scots? Invited all the pictish kings to one place & killed them all?
Now (*thinks*) why would an Irishman who settled in "scotland" call himself Welshman...hhhhmmmm.
So you see my point? Unless James I happened to be a pict, (which would be pretty bloody unlikely considering what happened to all the pictish kings), then he was a scot, (which means that really he was originally irish), & he then became king of england, but, I'm pretty sure that the natives didn't call the place England (or anything remotly close to that), prior to an invasion of saxons, who in turn were conquered by a bunch of nordic refugee'swho had invaded part of gaul or france or whatever.
So that sums up my thoughts on the current monarchy, & if you think I'm bitter about this don't even get me started about the italians
Re: Great Britain: Republic or Monarchy?
I like the fact that a Greek claims his children will be British because they will be born here yet argues that the Queen is German. Ah the irony!
As for the equality issue I say GAH! There are plenty of people with inherited wealth and I don't ask for some of theirs. Bringing people down in life is the worst way to achieve equality IMO. So when we all sit in our government tenements waiting months for our government car we can look at the Windsors in the flat next door and be happy? GAH again.
Help, help, I'm being oppressed!

Re: Great Britain: Republic or Monarchy?
Whats that got to do with monarchy ?1- It proposes a formal unequality. 2- It proposes a real unequality when the royal family has to do nothing to survive while "lesser" beings have to look for a job. That alone is enough at least for me.
Dont governments propose formal unequality ?
and as for the other point
If you are trying to drag the rich man poor man thing into this thats a different discussion. Plenty of people have made money in one generation that then means future generations dont need to work. Thats capitalism.
