So not a lot of support for our royals but what about the altenatives then and how they would be chosen?
The Queen

It's an outdated and pointless institution that has little relevance in 2017. However, they can crack on for me, as long as the sponging ****s pay for themselves

I feel the same, they can crack on as the thought of some plum like Boris or Farage becoming our President or something is quite terrifying.
I think there should be a Saturday night TV programme where the public can choose a new monarch every year.
"Why aye pet, so why do you want to be monarch?"
"It just means everything to me."
"What does it mean to you?"
"Everything."
A bit like the last general election then?

Exactly. As I mentioned previously, they should get somebody like Merlin entertainment to manage them as a private business, the income they earn as a tourist attraction can pay for them swanning about in gold carriages etc.
Monarch needs to go and house of Lord's needs to be reformed.
I've said before, I think one of our two houses should be elected (commons, keep it like it is now) and one should be picked by sorti like the ancient Greek democracies used to have.

FYI... Why by Sorti. (Like a jury) with terms lasting 6 months.
1) For good or bad, it better represents population. Not everyone has the charisma or means to run for office.
2) If picked by sorti for short periods of time you're going to vote what you think is right. Not what you think will get you elected... Or what your party tells you how to vote.
Would still want one house elected for balance. Certainly if we had a head of state should be elected not picked by sorti.

Yeah copying Greece is a good idea.
Based on the timeline we'd have two and half thousand years before we need Germany to bail us out if we emulate Greece now.
Yeah but at the end of the day it's just a **** lasagne. Stick your hot sauce on that instead.
Definitely pointless.
That said, the one who plays a young (and barely believable given the actual one was dog rough) Victoria in the series of the same name on ITV is fabulous so I definitely wid.
She used to be in Emmerdale, big tits.
You mean Jenna Coleman?
Oh yeah, deffo wid (Inspired me to make a sig change
)

For what it's worth I like the royal family.
Whatever you think of them, the Queen has carried out her duties to the letter. God bless you Mam.
