Australia or Aurentina? Australia already is a monarchy.

Yes, very. That's like saying the president receiving mail from a constitutional monarch is unacceptable. We might as well be called "The nation that has poor relations with Norway".

He was banned because of that he is back. Not because of the petition. I recived a TG of him telling me that I was godmoding and the ban on his company is not canon.

Add him to your blocked senders list. Many of us have.

It is canon. Dragomere doesn't decide what's canon or not.

I'm indifferent. Having a president would make no difference, as he/she would be a figurehead, like the Queen. The good thing to come out of it would be the news isn't filled with boring stories about the Royal Family, but the bad thing is the economy would be affected.

Getting rid of the monarchy rids the news of stories about the Royal Family? Wow, I wish you'd told America that, because it's been a few centuries and twenty-three million Americans still watched the Windsors' latest wedding.

Just that the Queen of Britain happens to be the head of an organisation based around common history, that common history being British imperial rule.

But, and this is a very big, juicy but, it doesn't not mean that you have to recognise the Queen as Head of State. I sincerely do not know how hard it is for people to understand this basic concept. The Commonwealth is based around the former British Empire but the Queen does not have any powers over our state nor has any involvement in its politics. The same can be said for other Commonwealth republics such as India, Pakistan and South Africa.

Well I wish it would because they are so annoying.

It won't. It's very present in the US.

What is it with the US media and the Royals? It's as though they want a monarchy themselves for god's sake (I recognise that the normal people in America don't).

Hey, just because we don't want to be the Dominion of America doesn't mean we hate the royal family (although we didn't like George III)

What? I'm saying the US media are obsessed with the royals - as in they like to spend ten million hours talking about them every time something happens.

The only interesting thing that has happened with the Royals recently is Kate being topless.

It's an invasion of her privacy! I still looked though.

Here (on NS) or in the UK? Coz anyone with half a brain and some political sense hates them, pretty sure that applies to both places.

I can't agree with them on social issues, immigration, military but I am a eurosceptic

The irony, a country proud of a history that is built on the defeat of the royals can't get enough of the royals. Ha.

It's foreign, sparkly, and in a language they can (kind of) understand.

"Libertarian, non-racist party seeking Britain's withdrawal from the European Union"

What kind of party has to specifically note it's non-racist?

Hahahah
Everyone *and I mean everyone* accuses them of racism for being anti-immigration and anti-birkha.
