What does the queen do for england?

Question

are we gaining anything from still having a queen, or are we paying her outrageous amounts of money just to sit in a big house all day?

Answer 1

The Queen battles the forces of evil and the corrupt governments of the world.

Along with her good friend, Chuck Norris, they are an unstoppable team of bare fisted fighters crushing the dark forces where ever they stand.

(BTW, Chuck Norris was supposed to be King of England, but turned it down since it would interfere with his work out regiment.)

Answer 2

Queen Elizabeth II works ceaselessly to ensure that her adoring subjects are constantly fed misinformation and taxed up to the hilt.

Answer 3

The same that she does for Australia I would guess - nothing! She is a symbol of an ugly time where ones value was related to their birth family, not their individual merit.

She is a useless as religion!

Answer 4

She upholds a tradition of exploitation of nearly 1000 years. We'd pay far less to have an elected president that changes every few years. A few tourists come to see working palaces and castles not museum palaces, so it's a pity that they cannot see very much of such places due to their occupation by the royal family.

The Queen and the rest of the Royal family carry out many extortions and take many holidays. The Queen does not sit all day, she's always busy protecting her privileged position and wealth.  I'd like you to show me another 81 year old who is as cold and calculating as the Queen.

Answer 5

Bugger all.

I'm British and I can proudly say how pathetic and degrading the Queen and her family is.

We may as well have non.

Parliment is in power now

Answer 6

She's a figure head.  The US has the president fill that role.  But she handles ceremonial events.  Every nations needs some one to handle the bull c**p while others take care of the important issues.

Answer 7

she does nothing for nobody.  and chuck norris is old and unfunny.

Answer 8

....sit in a big house and drink tee. yup.

but hey, her b-day parties are fun.

Answer 9

Who is we?  Queen Elizabeth doesn't represent the masses.

Answer 10

You pay her less than £1 a year and she brings in an awful lot more by opening her palaces up to the public and especially tourists who usually come to England/Britain to see our monarchy. She does huge amounts of charity work and represents our country excellently. Would you prefer a politically biased President instead?

Answer 11

Um, you gain tabloid material.

Answer 12

She upholds a tradition of nearly 1000 years. We'd pay even more to have an elected president that changes every few years. Whether we like it or not, tourists come to see working palaces and castles not museum palaces.

The Queen and the rest of the Royal family carry out many engagements and investitures, the Queen does not sit all day, I'd like you to show me another 81 year old who carries out as much as the Queen does.

Answer 13

She is the pin up girl for Old Age Pensioners everywhere, and it's not a house she sits in it's a castle.

Answer 14

Flashes her beautiful Diamonds to for all to see that she has them and you don't.

Answer 15

nothing. she is a figure head.
