Its weird i'm actually warming to prince charles

(1/2) > >>

Don Rizzle:
i've come to realise we have alot of common views i don't know if i'm so against him becoming the next king anymore.... but i still don't want carmila as our queen tho.....

Lincoln:
Out of curiosity, do most Brits consider themselves to be pro-monarchy?

Don Rizzle:
yea i think so, but most ppl hate prince charles.... a monarchy is much cheaper than a presidency and the tourism it creates pretty much pays for its self.

a question for you, are you pro monarchy considering the queen still rules over canada....

Don Seer:
don't know... most don't have a problem since they don't really hold any power.

some people moan about the money from taxes that goes to them.. but they're also IMO the kind of people that moan over anything..

we're not that passionate or anything over them... of course it'd be a massive insult of they were targetted by terrorists.. but like how some idiots will try to diss brits by slagging off the queen.. we really dont get offended.. ya'll are just ignorant to our culture.

I am not pro-monarchy at all, we actually had a debate about this in my class. We, as you may know, have the Governor-General, the "Queen's Representative" which is appointed by the Prime Minister, and in constitutional technicality holds the power over any and all legislation passed through our Parliament. I don't care for the idea of anyone above the democratically elected representatives, symbolic or otherwise. Strangely though our constitution holds no mention of a Prime Minister, so it would require many amendments.

So I feel that in my country that the power should hold firmly with the Lower House and the Upper House, as long as there is an amendment to make the Upper House elected.
