  1. 1702's act of union says otherwise. Besides, Scottish Lineage has been in the monarchy since James IV of Scotland became James I of England. I'm not a royalist at all - I find them despondent, outdated and excessive, but face facts: while Scotland uses the Pound Sterling and pays as well as receives tax with it, Scotland has the same brat we do. Get used to it.

  2.  @sanewater9021  The economy is in shambles. Our currency, based on debt is worthless. Our industry is all but wiped out - at the mercy of foreign business and likely to suffer further from this obsessive drive to "Net Zero" based on nonsense. Our laws are a joke; punishing the law-abiding yet supporting the law breaker. Our politics are a laughing stock; both the ruling government and opposition. Brexit has essentially been rendered pointless as we're STILL bound through Northern Ireland. Our military has been decimated for the sake of political correctness. And unless kept around for the cheap tact of using it as a tool to demonise and condemn the British people: especially the English, our national identity has been all but annihilated. And just like mommy before him and every other before her, Charlie has done NOTHING.

  3.  @sanewater9021  If they have the power to dismantle parliament - and they do. When they have the power to refuse royal ascent - and they do When in the crown court it's the individual verses the crown - which means the MONARCH. They can do a whole lot more then you believe. And if not, or to play devil's advocate and indulge your argument: what is the bloody point of even HAVING them?! "Oh they represent us..." I represent myself just fine. Don't need to have a spoilt brat do that for me. "They bring in revenue..." with a currency that has no real value due to being based on debt like the rest of the world's currencies. "Tourism..." most people in this country couldn't name ten monarchs off the top of their head and label their "achievements" much less anyone else in the world. "You're just jealous..." Being expected to fly around in luxury, stuffing my face and making speeches I never even wrote, whilst at the expense of everyone else who has to work themselves to death just to get by: just because the legs I popped into this world are descended by an opportunist who convinced a bunch of pissed up superstitious halfwits to rally up behind me and make me king... I wouldn't be damned surprised about being envied and despised. Because if I declared myself an Emperor, because i could convince a bunch from a dozen AA groups to follow me, would that make me Emperor? No, they'd lock me away!

  4.  @Midnight-ib8tg  And again, the Act of union unified the crowns - unfortunately making him king of both by default.

  5. @@Tom-vi3ji Money based on debt which essentially renders it valueless in the long run. Besides if having monarchy is justified by merits - what exactly have any of them done to warrant it? I can name a good sixty million alone who could and would do better to earn such.

  6.  @ibrstellar1080  Better yet - abolish the throne completely.

  7. I agree with all of that - but vote reform? As if any party who isn't in bed with the status quo would EVER be permitted the chance of getting into power. As long as the system remains in place, voting is meaningless other then to keep the easily herded in line.
