Come on now. It's a massive achievement for a monarch with around the clock personal 21st century medical care to live longer than her ancestors who were routinely killed by having pokers shoved up the bum or puritans with warty faces chopping their heads off. |  |

Do you think the Queen still believes in the Divine Right of Kings (Queens)?
About time our head of state reflects meritocracy in society rather than birthright.
I wouldn't like to see a politician as our head of state - rather someone who say has invented a new medical drug or spent life working with sick and infirmed etc. Maybe an Olympic Gold Medallist like Daley Thompson (got to be careful here though with all the drug allegations re: Mo Farrow etc).
Could elect the Head of State and that person then would hold office for say fixed three year period. | | | |

If you believe in merit then HM deserves every respect after a lifetime of devoted, selfless service to the nation. Compared to the deviousness and low bartering of the political class HM is a paragon.
Marvellous woman.

And could make a worthwhile contribution to the AA too. As indeed, coincidentally, could her mother. | |

That's unfair - she works really, really hard flying around the world in a private jet and being chauffeur-driven to shake hands with a handful of fawning, f*ckwit proles a few times a year.
It must really take it out of one. Gawd bless yer, Ma'am. |  | | |

I haven't got a problem with Queen becoming Head of State through merit - if people voted her in and limited her appointment to Head of State - to fixed three year period.
Do you still think she believes in Divine Right of Kings (Queens)? | | | |
| Congratulations to Her Majesty The Queen on 11:53 - Sep 9 with 1237 views | Nookiejack |
PS. Why do people still have to bow down and curtsey to the Queen - when they meet her?
People don't have to do that if you met Cameron for example.
What's that all about?
Is it some sort of reminder of serfdom? | | | |

It is very odd that the left are the first to call the royal family 'benefit scroungers' and 'lizards' although they bring in massive amounts of tourism. But they would be horrified if someone called a foreign national claiming benefits in this country 'benefit scroungers' although they contribute nothing to society. |  | | |

I've honestly got no idea what she believes, Nook?
I think it's a pretty safe assumption though that there are far more people on these islands favour the retention of the institution of Monarchy than would favour a political head of state. | |

Nothing against her personally as she seems like a nice grandmother type. Time to move on though, its not the 1950s any more.
If we had a President instead who would it be ? Not a great selection.
Tell you what - abolish the House of Lords and remove the minor royals from the pub purse and brenda and keith get to stay on. Deal ? |  |

It's a mark of respect for the Office of Monarch and Head of The Church. It is no different to the reasons why Guardsmen salute Generals or papists cross themselves in front of The Cross. | |

To quote from Republican Peter Tatchell
'An unelected head of state, even a pleasant one like the Queen, is incompatible with democracy and modernity. Monarchy is based on inherited power, wealth and status - not on merit or democratic choice. Deference is enshrined. Equality and accountability are spurned in favour of privilege.
According to the elitist values of the monarchical system, the most stupid, immoral royal is, by virtue of the family into which they are born, more fit to be our head of state than the wisest, most ethical commoner.
These are not the values that I want to see as part of British identity.' | | | |

Monarchy is based on a sense of stability and continuity, Nook. That's what underlies its popularity, the fact it isn't a political weathercock. | |

It's just semantics, though. We could be called Citizens, Subjects or Mash Robots and it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference to who we are or how we live out day-to-day lives. Not one iota. | |
