Louisa Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Oh great more hanger-on family members of our unelected head of state coming to pick up a few flowers and look busy, whilst cussing chaos to everyone local with road closures and such like. Don't you love living in a democracy? :))Louisa.

Mrs TP Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 They are due at 3pm. Can't imagine there will be any major road closures if at all, just police outriders - they are v. slick at this sort of thing.

That adds upto 59.1% of the total number of votes cast in favour of the two parties who formed the government. Of course it isn't ideal, but at least people got a say in who was elected on their behalf. And most important of all, we can kick them out if they're doing a crap job. Our head of state, the monarch is unelected and we never have that right to go to the ballot box to choose a new one, we are therefore not a true democracy! I think monarchies of all description are parasites, and this is why so many states around the world have chosen to remove them and all that they stand for. It is an outdated institution that most who support it fail to come up with a legitimate argument to support it's democratic credentials. Jamaica wants rid, the Aussies will be next, but us lot in the UK seem determined to live in the past, no wonder Scotland wants out! Louisa.

TillieTrotter Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I saw them drive past whilst sipping my soda outside the Dog. Some fella in a van was just backing out into the road as they were trying to come past so the Lead rider was screaming at him to go back in. They passed nice and slowly because of that.

The reasons why voter turnout generally hovers between a paltry 60 and 70% is probably a topic for another thread.

My argument is about people being democratically chosen by the people, if some people of voting age choose not to vote them surely that is their loss at not taking the opportunity to change things? My point is we cannot change the monarchy even if we wanted to! We can change our government. If he chooses not to explain himself or go off topic that isn't my problem it is his! Louisa.
