Yeah and maybe they can give all that money back that they stole off the country.

But ... at least they are not politicians - Blair for instance is a dangerous fanatic; I prefer morons to fanatics.

Vote? This existing 'system' is incapable of preventing the destruction of the planet and mankind (and all the little animals). Why would you vote ?

As I see it, Britain has a choice between (1) news about the Royal Family's antics (2) American style news about random celebrities' antics, e.g. Britney Spears'. Which is worse?

You can, but I was thinking of the average tabloid reader.

Besides, history repeats itself - there is no 'news', only 'olds'.

A few years ago over here we took a vote on whether or not to be separated from the U.K.
I can't believe we chose to stay tied to the Monarchy. They're a relic from a past era. I think it's time to let go (for us and for you).

In answer to the question, the reason was more political than that.

The referendum back in 1999 was on the issue of becoming a republic where...
politicians elect the Head of State and NOT the people directly.
