Why do they still have kings and queens these days? Seems a bit old fashioned.

Does it really matter whether you have a king or queen who doesn't have any real power or a president who doesn't have shit to say?

They have very little real power. They're still around because people like them and they're useful for doing business with countries where royalty is in power.

I don't believe a single person/family should control anything these days. It should be a true democracy for the people.

They don't control anything, that's what I'm trying to say. If we were living in a republic, we'd have a president instead of a king but he would have just about as much power as our king has right now.

  • Everything is under control.
Maybe someday Holland and Europe will graduate to this:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

they have alot alot more population support and approval than most democratic governments.

parliaments make rules for the people, monarchs make it into the hearts of the people.

its a bit outdated, but good tourist revenue, and there was a time when monarchs were true heros.


this is true, although I respect my government, I respect my QUeen more, call me old fasion or whatever but when I came to Canada I swore an oath to the Queen and to this day I will stand by it.

And when we graduate to that, will becoming president or senator also be a family affair, like in the US? Roosevelts, Bushes, Kennedys, Pauls etc.... ::)
