Revolution Needed

[eroticartist]

If you can't see that the Queen is head of the Upper Classes then it is useless discussing the subject with you. To get rid of the class system you must dissolve the monarchy that is obvious and any fool can see that!

You are just a fool!

And as the richest woman in the world keeping the class system in place so that you are all subects instead of citizens.

For once I agree with you

This summarises the role of the monarch

"The Monarch takes little direct part in Government. The decisions to exercise sovereign powers are delegated from the Monarch, either by statute or by convention, to Ministers or officers of the Crown, or other public bodies, exclusive of the Monarch personally. Thus the acts of state done in the name of the Crown, such as Crown Appointments, even if personally performed by the Monarch, such as the Queen's Speech and the State Opening of Parliament, depend upon decisions made elsewhere"

So although there is a long list of procedures, conventions etc that have been built up over centuries, the Queen has remained where she is because she has stayed out of party politics.

What part of the statement in quotation marks, dont you understand, Mike?
