Serve the queen and not the people!The Royals present a politically neutral restraining mechanism on parliament which every would be dictator or idiotic fool would love to see removed it is not neutral at all. politicians oath is to serve the queen and not the people. people who do not take the oath to serve the queen are not allowed in parliament. therefore there is no politically neutral restraining mechanism as you seem to believe, since this is not needed. we vote for the politicians who then in turn serve the queen. not the people.either because they have personal mental hygiene problems or because they know exactly why the system has been setup the way it has and knows the only way to ultimate power is to remove the Royals from the equation.ultimate power is to govern yourself and not have people in parliament, the monarchy or EU govern you.
the royals have not refused any parliament laws for over 300 years. they are snobbish, elitist and out of touch with modern day society. its necessary for them to have a massive public relations team in order to keep the illusion up eg recently the queen attended a wedding of one of her subjects. nothing other than PR since it was plastered all over the media.
the monarchy is bad for democracy and also bad for our own money! the tax payer is forced to pay for the upkeep of the royal family (only slaves pay taxes!) and nothing of any value is shown to the very people who are forced to pay for the royal family lifestyle.
the royals have power... each british citizen is the subject of the queen. The royals give parliament and the government power, the queen gives most of her power to the PM. this is done as a disguise... a smokescreen as it were... because if the queen made laws, the citizens nowadays would revolt. as it is, it is disguised in the fact that parliament make laws... but such laws are made not for the benefit of the british citizen, but are made for the benefit of the monarchy and to keep the entire family in a lifestyle to which they are accustomed.
the process of the queen giving her 'power' to the PM is that it creates a false system whereby joe public believes that they live in a democracy and that certain absurd 'laws' stem from people power and not royalty power. council tax, tax on your wages, all the stupid laws that nobody wants.... if such laws were to come from the royals, then most people wouldn't want the royal family. as it is, it is disguised in a way so that even though the queen does not make the laws, she benefits from such laws in the way the royal family is paid for through taxes.
taxpayers can not fully see how much the royals cost since the royals are not under any obligation to provide this info.
there is a spin on the info that their total cost divided between every person in britain is quite cheap... yet this figure is questionable. government does not base its figures on the same way as the monarchy, showing that the monarchy kind of makes it up as it goes along, under secrecy and pretence.
the monarchy is unelected. undemocratic. and totally unfair. a large number of people in UK are forced to either live in poverty or on borderline poverty... and we then see the queen in all her jewels as well as her family being treated to a luxurious lifestyle with no accountability or benefit toward that of the UK.
there has never been a vote as to whether we want the monarchy or not.
the monarchy is essentially an unelected head of state. parliament are clearly puppets, with their suport for the queen.
Part of treason act: any person whatsoever, within the United Kingdom or without devise or intend to deprive our most gracious Lady the Queen from the style, honor or Royal Name of the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom
only one good thing about the monarchy is that it can use its powers to get everyone out of the awful mess imposed on us by parliament and the EU. but it would never do this because it is both parliament and the EU that is keeping the monarchy in a lifestyle to which its accustomed.
