Svarty you had to have a pair to on page 3.
That 20% would be in Scotland. All Little Englanders love royalty.
Our King Billy has to watch out. There is only just 51% support for the royal family here. The Argentinian mare is not as popular as you think. Whether his daughter will be queen is in doubt. The under thirties hardly support the royal family (27%). A move to a more Swedish solution could be expected.

Support for the monarchy is pretty consistent across the UK, at above 70% plus for decades. There are some good reasons, not least the length of Elizabeth's reign and the perceived stability or at least solid core to the ‘story’ of the country. It might well change if Charles takes over. The system has stood the test of time and having a virtually powerless head of state, who none the less holds the government to account is a pragmatic approach to government.
Still, it can’t be justified given modern sensibilities and personally (apparently an exception for ‘little Englanders’ ) have to place myself in the republican camp. Not that it makes any difference. Currently the monarchy is very popular and that isn’t going to change any time soon.

Re: If you Live in Freedom, Thank the British Empire
As a Canadian you are not a Brit. Not since 15 February 1977 at the latest.
While all nationals under those categories continue to be Commonwealth citizens, the definition of British subject was limited to its present meaning. It currently only includes the category of people previously called British subjects without citizenship as well as women who married such persons and registered for the status. The term is no longer synonymous with Commonwealth citizen. British citizens are not British subjects as defined by this Act.
In other Commonwealth countries that still retained it, British subject status was progressively abolished. The status remained in law in South Africa until 1961, Canada until 1977, New Zealand until 1977, and Australia until 1987.

I assume that the 'Argentinean mare' is your queen, but what does the 'swedish' solution mean? your royalty is already barely involved in politics, at least not since Juliana.Scot Dutchy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 8:21 amSvarty you had to have a pair to on page 3.

Note, it doesn't say "a representative sample of 1,001 Scottish adults".Ipsos MORI interviewed a representative sample of 1,001 GB adults by telephone on 13-16 February 2016.

Re: If you Live in Freedom, Thank the British Empire
Given that Scotland voted to remain in the UK at their referendum, if we assume half of the 55% who voted to stay were more or less in support of the current status quo (at opposed to 70+ in the UK as a whole - well the figures speak for themselves. Not all little Scotanders are republicans.

I just can get how one would want to live under the British regime, whigs being barely less toxic than tories.

Re: If you Live in Freedom, Thank the British Empire
The Swedish royal family are completely self supporting. They receive nothing from the state except when they are hired to to do the job of king and queen. Our mob still get subsidies like the British mob and their palaces are maintained at the cost of the state which is a very sore point here. Their main palace Huis den Bosch has just been refurnished for €30 million and they get to live there for nothing. Both King Billy and the Argentinian mare both work and their kids go to normal schools. They even cycle to school.Svartalf wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 8:52 amI assume that the 'Argentinean mare' is your queen, but what does the 'swedish' solution mean? your royalty is already barely involved in politics, at least not since Juliana.Scot Dutchy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 8:21 amSvarty you had to have a pair to on page 3.

As far as politics is concerned the last bits of power they had has been removed so they dont have any function apart from opening parliament.

Like to see those figures. A nice presumption. The Scots want to stay in the EU. Fuck the UK.

Re: If you Live in Freedom, Thank the British Empire
OMG! I just actually watched that vid. How fucking offensive it is. The British saw themselves as "liberators"? Spreading "freedom" every where they went?! Are you fucking kidding me?!
Britain, along with the US, defended the ideals of liberty and freedom in 2 World Wars? Was this while Britain were ruling over India and the US treated black people like 2nd class citizens? Hell the US was quite cozy with the ideals of Nazism and white supremacy until Hitler gave it a bad name. Churchill was a massive anti-Semite and racist who put people into concentration camps and unleashed the Black and Tans on the Irish. It's hypocritical to praise him as a champion of freedom.
And do we need to mention the genocides from America to Australia?
