Aneirin -> RE: Who then replaces the queen? (1/26/2010 5:28:34 PM)

To us , the British subjects, who rules, is beyond us, it follows it's own succession, and they will continue or not, as what suits them, they are apart from the great majority of British Subjects, so far removed, to become irrelevant in this day and age., They hold very little political power beyond an occaisional chat on TV, the annual Queen's speech and the publicity that comes when a royal does a faux pas or otherwise becomes embroiled in things that really do not concern them, but when they do flap their lips, on whatever, they appear to have more credibility to the general public than what any politician does. So, for Britain perhaps we need a monarchy, a lot of people want it, but if they reserve their role to speaking out when times are hard, they will be appreciated, a challenge at least to the mealy mouthed self serving politicians.
The question maybe asked, if we dissolved the monachy, would we still have a tourist industry in London, how many chequer trousered Americans would visit and how less will we hear the cameras clicking of the far Eastern visitors. Like it or not, the monarchy are good for our economy, it makes Britain worth coming to for those foreign to our shores. Perhaps in countries devoid of ancient history, castles of stone and ancient tales, an old country is an attraction.
But, for the future of the monarchy, then for me, it is the sons of Diana, that need to rule.
