fancy a jarm sandwich ...
Actually I sang in a choir and she came to visit and she said hello to a couple of us afterwards.
charles and his dim brothers and their dad ...positive fucking role models!!!!
Have you ever actually been in court?
I think he should be put against a wall and shot.
that means your all stuffed
My vote is to keep it intact......we may not like the people, but as in institution it has its merits.
us brits love a bunch of losers
Its part of the national heritage and in many way, psychie. Its a rallying point during times of crisis. It gives a stable line of succession, even if the entire House of Commons and Lord is wiped off the face of the map.
Granted the current crop of royals leaves much to be desired, but as an institution, it is a time tested and stable one.
And here is something for you Republicans to consider.....the vast majority of Republics end up as totalerian dictorships...something to think about before you start the revolutions.
But this is just one mans opinion right?
its called having another election
So far to date, the only really stable and effective democracies have been Constitutional Monarcies employing the Parlimentary system. You know, the system that both the UK and Canada employs?
So why mess about with something that actually works?
You mean the nation where only the rich can actually run for office, where special interest groups such as corporations and radical right Christians hold power? The nation that pays only lip service to the origianl idea that it was suppose to be a nation dedicated to and built on the concepts that the rights and freedoms of all men are sancrosant. A nation where the people are gladly giving away their inherited rights and freedoms in the name of some vague government promise of security?
The US is following the same path that Rome trod two thousand years ago. I would not be surprised to see a man elected to be president for life there soon.
yeh you do realise that all men and women are equally as useless as defending themselves when first born
its the same over here, i want to stand for MP, but i dont have the money, or the time or the friends and connections
You have a much better chance of starting a grass roots action or campaign in either Canada or the UK then you do in the US. Plus you have a much higher chance of success in the UK or Canada.
True, it cost money to run for political office......but in both Canada and the UK, that cost would only be a few thousand C$'s or Pounds Sterling. In the US, you have better have access to Millions US$ if you want to run for anything higher then mayor.
yes but in the ukthere is only 60million people
not anywhere near the almost 300million you have in america
you dont justrun for senate or house, you build up your career, which you do from a grassroots base
So is slavery.
For who? Not me or anyone I know.
Succesion of what?
Now theres an idea...
Stable? Really? How about some history...
Really? Evidence?
Yes, a Canadian's opinion.
Works in what way?
