I want to ask you a question because we've had a conversation in this thread. Would you still support this Queen if she or Charles wanted to bring the crown back to all it's glory? As in the monarchy completely runs the country as it used to? Would you and the British people accept her rule if she demanded it?

I'm actually interested to know how long this institution can go on. Next we have Charles, then Will and Kate, Then their offspring and so on.
Maybe it's time to give another family a chance. Unless you think the Royal bloodline is superior.

No problem at all. I actually think the thought of ruling again would terrify every one of the present Royals - they haven't had that sort of power since the execution of Charles 1 in 1649. That is a long time!

Great idea.
I know it'd be a hard task, but can I volunteer myself and my family for the onerous responsibility?
But to imagine that The Queen sits at home and requests the police etc to monitor and record the going's on of people is just ridiculous.
If things ever get confrontational in this country then I have no doubt which side of the fence The Queen will be on - and I very much doubt it'd be the same as me - but I also have no doubt that she would eventually go the same way as some of her predecessors have.

I believe the last time it changed was when the French (Normans) took the throne by force in 1066. Since then it's been nothing but inbreeding and... well, "off with his head" until current date. That's really the extend of my British knowledge. Curious though, if it is just horse and pony, why not give another family a chance? Could make a reality tv show of it? "Who wants to be a monarch"?
Can i be a Knight of the Garter? Need thinks to be more Northern centric!
