JGA1980 05/22/18 6:41:31 AM #18:	No. I like the fact that the armed forces answer to the monarch and not the current government of the day, because ironically, it seems like a good safeguard against tyranny by the government or one political party. Also, even though it is now largely a symbolic position which rarely exercises its power, it's still good to have such a symbolic embodiment of the nation which is above party politics and which in theory, could put its foot down and stop any government from doing something which could harm the nation. <cite>JGA1980 posted [p:901777946] in Should the...

Revelation34 05/22/18 3:57:27 PM #38:	trentpac posted... Interesting. I didn't think that this poll would be so close. I still haven't changed my mind on the matter. I just think that a nation's ideals are important and the whole idea of royalty is very off-putting to me...but you know...opinions and whatnot. How would royalty be off putting? Especially if they have no power. Mr Hangman posted... Can't believe all the bootlickers in this topic. And I can't believe that anyone brings up "tourism", as if that's relevant at all or as if turning the palace into a museum wouldn't bring just as many or more tourists. I don't think you know what a bootlicker is. Runner_style posted... They aren't really important to us, if given an official vote I'd bet everything I own that the result would be to abolish the monarchy. I guess you will enjoy being homeless. wah_wah_wah posted... Whether it personally affects me or not has nothing to do with it being embarrassing to live in a society that believes that someone has special rights simply because of what snatch they fell out of. Well besides the fact it isn't embarrassing. It literally has no bearing on you so it shouldn't matter at all. --- Gamertag: Kegfarms, BF code: 2033480226, Treasure Cruise code 318,374,355, Steam: Kegfarms <cite>Revelation34 posted [p:901800873] in Should the...

You posed the circumstance of you being under a monarchy, don't be dense. wah_wah_wah posted... I don't think either is acceptable, but the royal family is particularly anachronistic.
