As a force for change or good in democratic societies, all the elected/appointed, non-executive heads-of-state combined wouldn't amount to the value of a truckload of pig food.

They have no power, are instantly ignored by the people once appointed, and no one remembers them, unless maybe if they're caught f~cking a goat.

Are you?

Something the Chinese don't seem to get - you can't rock up to a foreign forum and expect to understand what you're reading because you're, say, Han Chinese. The same would be true in reverse,

What a load of nonsense -
I don't know how Charles can play along with it - with a straight face -
sitting in a golden carriage. Grin

I'd bet no British Parliament would allow a referendum on ending the monarchy, and nevermind the money they bring into Britain - I'd bet every British Prime Minister since 1837 has thanked god for the monarchy - someone to blame when things go wrong with their politics; someone to label entire eras after when things go right and then ride in high on the wave that makes them, as the prime ministers to the great monarch, after which the era is named.

If not for the monarchs, after which eras are named, few prime ministers have been remembered by the people - Churchill being the greatest exception.

After all, isn't it Geroge III who is remembered for having lost the American colonies and remembered by all Americans as the tyrant monarch? Do any Americans know of George III's prime ministers who wielded real power?

Listen Pal,

if monarchy had any real power they could have stopped WW1 in the first week.
Both the Germans and the POMs had their monarchies supposedly in control of their armies.
Reason -
it's all symbolic nonsense - they are powerless clowns
putting on a show for the rest of us -
and we're paying for it.
