Re: Our Monarch.
The present generation are shown nearly continuously on news reels and media story’s and repeated on here at the likes of football and other matches , as having no respect for themselves never mind anyone else so a real brained individual wouldnt put too much thoughts into what they thought , the next generation will be even worse being sired by the present day muffin heads , it’s something the world has to learn to live with.Although a dictator being a replacement may change their views when it’s too late , and they have to have a 5 minutes silence every morning to thank God for their dictator , like they used to do , and may still do , in the Dominican Republic .

Yes we do have to bring hypotheticals into it because it's a very serious point.
The notion that the sole qualification for such a high profile position which is nationally and indeed internationally influential need only be an accident of birth defies any logic and is indefensible in the modern world.

Re: Our Monarch.
Most probably the majority of those who participated in the poll were foreigners. Just think if a war started and everyone who was elegable was called up to join the Armed Forces we true Brits would have our country back to ourselves to defend it.

Re: Our Monarch.
That shows that 32% are then illegal immigrants , or persons of very low IQ or just plainly unpatriotic. Come the UK being invaded , they should qualify for the first line of defence . Cheers JS

The result of the Yougov poll.
The demographic breakdown is very interesting.

As to the Poll of 2016 what number where asked?
The point is that it's entirely down to the luck of the draw. To use the Queen as a good example is laughable, because remember she was never supposed to be Queen in the first place.
How do you think the country may have fared if Edward VIII had stuck in there as King?
The poll sample was nearly 2000 people of all ages and political persuasions, nationwide.

See the previously attached link - it's all there should you care to read it.
It was pure luck that we didn't have a monarch with Nazi sympathies at one of the most critical moments of this country's history, i.e. the utterly desperate situation we found ourselves in after Dunkirk - the "system" had nothing to do with it.

Re: Our Monarch.
I see the President of France has given the Queen a horse for the jubilee a 7 year old Grey (Fabuleu de Maucour) at least it was not called Marengo. But I really hope the Queen will change it's name to Copenhagen, Only reason I mention Copenhagen is seeing as Denmark is also a Monarchy
