What are your views on having the British Monarchy (Queen or King, whichever is currently wearing the crown) as your head of state?

I've been watching the news about the Queen's Jubilee tour of Canada, and someone in power there (the deputy prime minister?) said he didn't want her, but was shot down by virtually everyone else in the country. I was curious as to how our Commonwealth compatriots on this board feel about the subject.

The Queen was here? *boggle*

Generally, us Canadians don't really give a hot damn. Other than her face on some of our money, we don't really pay much attention to her.

And Sol is correct.

I personally don't give a fuck. She comes here, and does some stuff.

I mean, wtf does the Monarchy do? Aren't they just diplomats?

At our (Australia) referrendum back in 1999, my reasons for voting between Republic and Monarchy came down to : "Who would I rather be known as our head of State (remembering that the role is more ceremonial than anything)?

* Queen Elizabeth II
* Some unknown bugger that either a) Parliament, or b) the people voted for

The answer was simple : The Queen - It keeps with the tradition of our nation, as well as keeping ties with our 'mother country'.

But in the end, it's not all that important. If we changed to a Republic tomorrow, we'd still live and be the same people we were today.

Mort and the Brits probably know more about this than me, but the last I heard, there was a question of whether or not Charles ever would be King. Logically, when the Queen dies, Charles is the next in progression, but I always thought they had to be confirmed. Some people think it'll go directly to Di's son, but word is that he isn't so hot on the idea.

Wouldn't surprise me if Charles never ascended to the throne.

So their choice will be him or some kid?

The monarchy is more or less just a figurehead with no real governmental power, right?

Charlie is the rightful heir.

Charlie is a good reason to put up a referendum to go for complete independance.

That's about right.

Just as well Di's kid doesn't attain the throne. Disney will try to make it into some shitty movie.

The only way William will get the monarchy is if Charlies dies, and then he'll probably just abdicate in favour of pothead Harry.

Charles may or may not ascend to the throne. If he doesn't, it'll pass to his oldest son. However, his oldest son has said that he doesn't want to be king. The youngest son has stated time and again that he wants to job, but he's been found to have actively smoked pot.

Our next king will be a stoner.

Mort should wipe them all out and take over. We've all seen pictures of Mort at this point...he's definitely got the "Lordly" attitude. Can tell just by looking at him. Plus there are rumors Mort's got a cool voice.

He's also well-organized, and tidy. And he's not a doper. Soooooo...

MORT FOR KING!
