Answer 3

Historically, a monarch had always ruled England and the current UK. It represents "tradition" and "culture", and the UK would not be the same without its monarchy. The three English civil wars between 1642 and 1651, actually brought the monarchy down and Charles II was behead as a result. This was the only time and last time England was ever a republic. The only reason why it did not stay that way was because people could not live without a "monarch". People started to question why they should obey the Parliament, and who gave them the "authority" to rule the country.

The English monarchy were seen as a "divine being", a representative of "God." They actually believed that "God" had sent them a monarch to guide over them. When Charles II was beheaded, people actually cried and were full of fear and remorse. People in modern time may not react this way as they did back in the 16th century, however, 70% of the British population actually voted that they love The Queen, and what she did for her country. The British people love her, The Queen and her family represents the British culture, and people want to preserve that tradition for many generations to come.

Answer 4

Insofar as the British Royal Family is concerned this is a tired and boring question from the vocal but very small minority of republicans!

God Save the Queen!

p.s. Yaktur are you a communist?

Answer 5

Interesting question.  I really don't know.  They're a huge tourist attraction and what would we replace them with?

What is interesting is the line of succession to the British Throne.

Answer 6

The monarchy is a useless parasite feeding off the labour of honest hard working folks. Abolish it.

Answer 7

It must have been your turn to ask this question. Do you republicans have a tag team or something?
