    No, I'm not ******ed mate. But your efforts at trying to justify ONE PERSON having the overall say in things by quoting examples of things you consider to be undemocratic is ******ed.

    We have elections to the Westminster Parliament every four or five years. I don't remember being allowed to vote on whether there should be a King or Queen.

    No, we have a constitutional monarchy and I just wish our monarch would actually say no when the laws being brought in are AGAINST everything that Britain supposedly espouses, freedom, the right to trial etc.

    The £40m is bullshit anyway. i understand that the true cost of the monarchy is protected under the secrets act

    I also heard that when the queen travelled on BA to 'save money' they had to gut out th eplane and put a bed etc in and the bill was £165k

    One unelected person with the power to veto what a democratically elected Parliament discuss and pass into law. How would that be a good thing? And who would decide what is not in the best interest of the country?

    You elect the government and trust them to make decisions on their behalf and if you don't like that you have the right to change your vote next time round.

    I have it from a VERY dependable source that the powers that be at Holyrood can tell how HMQ feels about Scottish Parliament legislation.

    By law, she has 10 days to sign an Act of the Scottish Parliamnent ('Royal Assent').

    1) If HMQ isnt bothered about the Act it gets signed no bother.
    2) If she is dead keen on it, she signs it immediately. The ban on smoking in public places being a case in point as she was a devout anti-smoker (Actually the Smoking, Health and Social Care Act)
    3) If she is agin the Act, she takes it to the wire and only signs it grudgingly at the last moment, to show her displeasure. A case in point was the Wild Mammals Act - which prohibits fox-hunting in Scotland

    God bless you Ma'am <ok>

    On the face of it, the idea of a Monarchy that makes the country £200m ON TOP of what they cost sounds great. But:

    1) Where does this money go? Schools? Hospitals? Harry and Wills' crack-whore addiction?
    2) Who works this stuff out and are the figures entirely trustworthy?
    3) Do the figures take into account ALL of the costs?

    Hurry up and answer, because I'm getting splinters in my arse from this ****ing fence.

    also on the link you posted is how she's raided the civil list fund and will have to go cap in hand to the government to scrounge some more

    11 million on salaries and catering

    tens of millions in security

    a 1 million pound train used just 19 times

    The real problem with this debate is the same as most other debates, most people have fixed views and even if they knew the facts and figures (few ever do), it wouldn't change thier bigotry.
