Do British people get tired of a king and queen?

Question

Do you wish your country was democratic? Or is it wrong to state your opinion? I am really curious about this. I often wonder if British people ever feel like some of them could do a great job running the country, but never will get the chance because they don't come from a "Royal" family. Who exactly chose the royal family. Did they just picked the richest family or what? These are things, that I have wondered about for awhile.

Answer 1

We've had our Royalty for centuries and are very proud of them, well, i am!!! Mind you, the UK are so lax in letting in mis-fits,illegal immigrants, etc etc that we're feeling that our country isn't our own but its not our Queen's fault - its the fault of her stupid government - she doesn't pick the government - she leaves that to us!!! Oh what mistakes we make!!! I for one love having Royalty overseeing my country, our history is long and varied and full of intrigue and scandal - if i was to begin to tell you i'd have to copy-right it and start a book ha ha ha.

Answer 2

Well, do the Americans get tired of constantly having to elect a new president? The election campaigns starts almost two years before they're supposed to vote!

Answer 3

The British government is democratic and has been for some time.  The Queen is merely a figure-head - sort of a historical bond that unites the country to it's history.

Answer 4

Yes. It's ironic that our soldiers are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan so that those people can elect their own president. I've never heard anybody suggest that a constitutional monarchy would be the best government for those countries.

Perhaps one day the British people will have somebody fighting for their democratic rights
