Why does pragerU exist? Where's their competition?
They exist to counter the horrible influence of secular society. The vast left wing 'mainstream' media environment is their competition, as are the socialist indoctrination centers laughably called 'universities.' Oh, and Lucifer, of course. Prager writes for WND, which says a lot about where he's coming from.

The problem was the interlinked treaties that required allies to pile in and support each other. What utter stupidity.

As the the OP I think the key is the rule of law. England was the first country, as far as I am aware anyway, where even the sovereign was subject to the law and in theory all were equal before it. Much follows from that.
Of course Rum. England was first in everything :funny: .
All Dutch royalty are appointed not crowned and are subjects of Parliament. Your lot still think they are appointed by a god.

What the fuck do you still have royalty for (particularly non-hereditary ones :think: )? And before you start up, we don't support the Queen as head of state here, our problem is that we can't decide on the best model of republicanism.

No. Current polls indicate that about 20% of Brits do not.

Gotta give you ten out of ten for consistency. As Hermit says there are quite a few republicans around these days.
