The monarchy is for show.  It is tradition, nothing more.  Right now it is not really exciting.  There are no dynamic or charismatic people to watch.  People liked Princess Di, but Prince Charles and Camille, they are ugly and boring.  The young princes maybe interesting when they get a little older, we will see.

Queen Elizabeth II remains the head of state for Britain and many of its colonies.  Head of government is another story, however, and the monarch's command of such has been in decline since the Magna Carta of 1215. James II, deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 by Parliament, may have been the last monarch to believe he was head of government, and to have been catastrophically incorrect.

Britain is neither a republic nor a democracy.  It is a constitutional monarchy.  America isn't a democracy, either - it is a republic.

The continued existence of the "royal" family, is a way for he British people to hold on to an institution that has been a part of the history of their country for hundreds of years. Its figurehead status aside, it strengthens the pride of the average citizen and re-establishes patriotism

Well, that's a pretty open question lol\n\nThe United Kingdom comprises of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The population is around 58 million, and the capital is London.\n\nThe inhabitants are more likely to identify as coming from their constituent countries, and England is the dominant country in the union. Despite this, England is the only member not to have it's own democratic process, and all English law is made by the Houses of Parliament along with law for the whole union.\n\nIt is a constitutional monarchy, currently led by Queen Elizabeth II. However, the real power rests with the democratically elected parliament with the Queen acting as a figurehead. Theoretically, all new acts of parliament still have to be approved by the queen before passing into law however, and it is the Queen who requests the leader of the political party to form "her government".\n\nOther major cities include Cardiff (capital of Wales), Edinburgh (capital of Scotland) and Belfast (capital of Northern Ireland). Within England the major cities include Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield and Liverpool.\n\nI could go on forever... I hope there are enough facts there though lol

I am a  royalist, but I am also a realist. I love the Royal Family for the way that they have gone on for over a thousand years. However, I am a realist in that I realize that in this day and age, they are mere figureheads, while in the days of old, their ancestors weilded great power, and helped shape England.

Well, if you look at france in the late 1700s, Louis the xvi (16th) got his head sliced off because of his treatment to the commom people so that may a good indication on how people felt about monarchy even a hundred years prior. Many bad things lead up to a situation like that and it just doesn't happen over night. I am a history grad. and I could help you if need be. You can email me if you want.

They are also a political party who believe in loving the country that one resides in or leaving the country. Everyone should love their homeland. So no i do not dread the BNP (British National Party, Right wing UK Political Party) coming into power in the future, even if some of their policies are a little OTT.

The previous answer is correct. For more information, visit www.royal.gov.uk. This is the official website of the British Monarchy and has a wealth of information.

a monarchy is a type of government that is ruled by 1 individual...namely a king or queen.\n\nIt was used to benefit the king...what he said, went, no questions asked.  It also eliminated the middle man, the king said stuff and things happened, therefore speeding up the whole decision making process...either in a good way or a bad way.\n\nits structure:\n\nking at top\nthen church if applicable\nthen other nobles in the land\nthen peasants (ordinary people)\nthen slaves if applicable

Democracy, because that's a government run for the people, by the people.\n\nMonarchies are generally run by one person, and since ultimate power corrupts ultimately, monarchs can get greedy and selfish. Look at Henry VIII. Ok, that was a long time ago, but, well, he's one example of a royal fatcat. His waistline grew with his greed. Not all people are like that, but judging from some recent documentaries, he was a nice guy 'till the power and money went to his head. Sounds pretty familiar and true throughout history.\n\nOne person judging what's best for the people has a nice long history of not working too terribly well. They sit in their palaces, not knowing a thing about what's really happening to those who work hard to keep the economy going. Marie Antoinette was another notorious royal spender...and look where she ended up.\n\nMonarchy can also lead to Theocracy(religious rule), if the royal in charge decides to make all those in his or her country follow the same beliefs as they do.\n\nAnd theocracies are a very bad idea. Unless you're prepared to believe the way the government tells you to, it's probably not a good idea for you to live in one. People who don't believe like everyone else in a theocracy has three choices. Convert, leave, or face execution for defying whatever deity said theocracy believes in. You can lead a person to a religious service, but you can't make them believe in their hearts. Pretty soon, people will get fed up and there's a revolution.\n\nAt least with a democracy, even if it's imperfect, it's at least run by the people it governs. No deity or corrupt royal dynasty telling people how to live and what will or won't get changed. The people decide what needs get taken care of when they need to be taken care of, not when the rich are ready to cough up their fortunes to help out.

The electoral system over here is subtly different to the US but not so bad that you'd lose sleep. The big difference is that we don't elect our PM, we elect a government (think - party) and the leader of the majority is normally "requested" by Her Majesty to form a government, but this is not written down in our constitution, as we don't have a written constitution. I've had HUGE rants at the current leader of the opposition, but I must admire him for this statement:\n"The constitution of the United Kingdom is whatever The Queen says it is".\nLegally, that is 100% correct.\nOur current government (ruling party, blair's thugs) were elected based on 21% (or so, don't flame me over a percentage point) of the valid electorate. A lot of people simply don't bother to vote because they're all crooks anyway, aren't they?\nBut listen to the talk in the trains and the bars etc. When they build the scaffold to hang Saddam, make space for Tony - and George - they're ALL war criminals.

The above question is neither for or against the Monarchy, it is asking your opinion!! So not jumping to conclusions on whether or not YOU personally want rid of them I shan't insult you as I answer. As a previous answer states the vast array of anti-monarchy answer show just how many people have "sour grapes" Things like: Why should people be born into wealth? and: Why should they get to spend vast sums of money on frivolous things when they have never worked a day in their lives? Easy answers to those two really- the first is just jealous people who are irked because they weren't born into wealth. The second is slightly more worrying. The people who say this don't seem to have a grasp on reality, everyday there is some TRASH written in tabloids and rags all the country over slurring the royal family or revealing some dirty secret. Everyday the Queen has to listen to inane country legislation and discussing it, some days more important than inane. In times of rememberance and worry the Queen is there-someone to look up to and listen to-indeed someone to respect- the countless charities that exsist solely because of Her? RSPCA? RSPCC?  The thousands She has raised for charities? The millions upon millions She and her family bring to THIS country. Which by the way is HERS'! We were given the right to rule the country as a democracy-we were not GIVEN the country! And why should we be? Why shouldn't somebody be born into Her Impossible position? The weight of a country on your shoulders every day the stress of constantly being within the publics focus. If all this isn't a job that is worth more than it's weight in gold I don't know what is. Besides all that there are millions of other roles that She fills that I don't even know about. Things like being able to dissolve parliment and dissmiss ministers. The powers that she has over govertment may not have been used-yet.but they are there and very real (reassuring yes?)  Her father when crowned was known for saying it was the worst thing ever to happen to his Very happy family why? Because it is hard work being the Head of State, and he knew what this meant for one of his daughters and so on forever down the line. Constant Hard Work. Better somebody be born ito this position than fighting and striving (you might say lusting ) after such a position of power- somebody with an agenda, their own ideas, not a neutral source to look to when these "somebodies" start getting unreasonable. The Queen should stay She more than works for all that is Hers and this land is indeed still hers, rightfully so!!!

vote. What a pointless waste of time, get rid of this Head Of State rubbish, you need one democratically elected leader and that's that.  The Yanks do it, and it seems to work for them.  I guess you can tell I'm a Brit who wants a republic, but I wouldn't replace the queen with a president, just keep the role of PM

a dictator comes to power from the outside,military or sometimes elected and then thake total control, a monarchy come to power through bloodlines, kings ,queens, princes,etc. and hands it down to the next generation. Most believe the were given the absolute rigt to rule from god. the outcome from both is always the same, the rule through fear
