Monarchy of use or not?

Question

Are the royal family outdated and time for a change or are they still of importance to england and the UK americans please give me your views to they are all welcome

Answer 1

Whatever you may think of a president, they have at least been elected by the people, you can vote them out every four or five years, and they do not have so many hangers on. Long live the revolution!

Answer 2

I'd rather a Monarch than a president (they are just figureheads too) BUT we should still have a prime minister. The American prime minister is the president, but we don't have a figurehead.

Answer 3

All things considered, I think I prefer the current constitutional monarch to the other possibility, i.e. a president (just think of the self-opinionated and time-served political nonentities who would put up for that job, at huge expense, of course).

Answer 4

Yes, QE2 has more political nouse than all of the mp`s in the HoC in her little finger.

patrik - 67p per week is expensive is it.  Have a quick shufty at all the mp`s pay and perks, now thats expensive!!

Answer 5

I would gladly have them in charge again. I'm sorry, but choosing one of two suited morons every 4 years and calling it the perfect system when sod all good gets done really annoys me.

I'd rather risk a bad monarch for the far better odds of having a good one than get the same old personality-less freaks that do nothing that might risk votes for the rest of our nation's history.

Answer 6

i wish they were...i have nothing against the windsor clan..but these days all they are doing is giving the world a false idea about britain...

they seem to have no thought,care or say in how this place is run or the shambolic state that the labour party have left it in.

in they end,they are nothing more than a tourist attraction,that u cant see or visit,but sure pay a lot for.
