So can you all tell me?

Question

What the point of the queen actually is?

I mean she's never done anything for me, sat in her big house that we all pay tax for it to stay in, is this fair?

Answer 1

She was genetically engineered to grow in to someone who could be happy to sit in the back of large cars and offer the crowds a small but meaningful wave when she drives by.

It keeps royal fans happy.

All that waving from the back seats of large cars must surely be worth the money she picks up by way of state benefits :oP

Answer 2

she does plenty..she generates vast amounts of tourism which generates vast amounts of money..and whether you like it or not she does a helluva lot of charity work..she is also head of the church of england..and as a scot myself don't try to make out that all scots have no time for the monarchy..if you don't like her fine..thats your choice..same as us who do like her......

we also pay a helluva lot of tax for junkies..asylum seekers..illegal immigrants..waste of space criminals for compensation..waste of space politicians...where does it end..

Answer 3

This Welshman agrees with you.Prince Charles has done b*gger all  for this country!

Answer 4

Alpha Kenny... the prime minister does that fool.

All the queen does is represent our history and keep the monarchy alive, it'll be like that forever now and it is pointless. Things like laws which are decided on in government are passed by her first to make sure she approves, however she has political advisors who 99.9999% of the time are going to tell her to agree.

Think of in the future when prince Harry or William is king. Honestly, theyre just like any other lad whos gone to join the army apart from theyll have royalty in their blood. To be fair the only reason any of them joined was probably because they were told to keep into tradition of being in some sort of service. All a joke relaly.

Answer 5

She's a figure head and a national symbol. While you could employ thirty odd diplomats with the money the Queen receives each year, none would be able to promote us to the outside world better.

Also the Queen is still responsible for the opening of parliament, if we got rid of her we could not have a government, now I know people will go yippee because old Gordy cant then come in for his days work and make a further mess of our lives but this would cause problems eventually.

Answer 6

dont they like... rule your country? like a president or something.

Answer 7

Beanie, what have you done for me ? What have you done for anyone in your street? Why don't you read more and find out just how much money your Queen makes for the country? Why don't you read the papers and see that it is the politicians you elect that have made England what it is.It really annoys me the waste of space silly questions take here !

Answer 8

I used to think like that. The thing about the royal family in general is that it brings an absolutely huge amount of tourism here, particularly from America, and therefore revenue. Also, whenever the Queen goes on one of her foreign visits she always brings industry and new jobs back with her. So she does a lot more for our country than many people think.

Answer 9

No worse then the rest of us.  I just watched a show on how the CIA sold drugs to the citizens of Los Angels in the 80's to help fund the Iran Contra escapade with Oly North and Ronald Regan.  So, no a Queen doesn't seem like to big a deal compared to the rest of the c**p that you spend money on and probably dont even know it.

Answer 10

You're right - she does nothing, she's a waste of space, time and money!!
