Should the royalty and crown disappear?

Question

in countries like Spain and England?

Answer 1

If royalty disappeared, what would the tabloids  have to write about, Britney Spears and Kate Moss?

Answer 2

NO,NO,NO!  Why do you people insist on ridding this planet

of long standing culture(s)?  Jealous?

Answer 3

They put on their pants one leg at a time like the rest of us.

They eat like the rest of us, even if it is in better surroundings and maybe a better quality of food.

They sleep and snore just like the rest of us.

They pee and c**p just like the rest of us.

There blood is red, not blue, but they aren't required to bleed like the rest of us.

But, if the Brits and Spanish want to kowtow to an antiquated symbol of serfdom and oppression, let 'em do so!  That's their business and their choice.

Answer 4

People SAY monarchys have no power but really they do,if the queen of england asked a citizen to do something they'd d**n well have to do it... If they declare war,its war....They still have alot of power,and we should remove Monarchys completely.

Answer 5

Yes, definitely. A money grabbing, people manipulating anachronism such as a monarchy has no place in a truly free society.

Answer 6

Nah...it's not like they have any REAL power anymore.  It's more for diplomatic reasons.

Answer 7

It's only up to the masses if that's going to happen.  If enough people revolt they will go away, otherwise business will continue as usual although they should be careful because the public at large are really beginning to not have a lot of c**p that they're up to and I don't think it will be a whole lot longer and monarchies will fall by the wayside because the people just don't want it and won't support it!

Answer 8

Jojobean - The Queen does not declare war. People fight in her name, just as they deliver the mail in her name or sit in Parliament passing laws in her name. But when it comes to declaring war, it always comes down to one person convincing others to do it. Would you do away with a Presidency because President's also start wars? Congress may have to ratify it, but the President can commit troops and then others have to play catch up by voting to support troops.

Leave the monarchy alone. It costs less than a presidency. It's more colourful. It's living history.

Answer 9

no i think that we still need to hold on to the past.  Royalty may be a little bit more interesting if we give them more power

Answer 10

no as royalty has been with us for centuries and gives us stability and a reason to be proud of our country and what our soldiers die for.
