I'm definitely with Invi on this one. Royalist to the core, I may not be Charles' biggest fan, but that's the way it goes.

I would gladly take up arms and fight to retain the monarchy, and from a self-confessed coward, that is no small thing.

...mind you.... would you mess with an "Illy" ~running now~ ninja

True. *Glances around nervously*.

*sigh* I've just realised. Off topic already. 'Tis a trap, I say.

I even side with the Royalists during Sealed Knot get togethers, so it's entirely possible to see where my allegiances lie smile

I'll...er...go back under my rock...sorry... redface

Hey, if anyone wants rid of them they'll have to go through me first.

Royalist to the core and blessed with a political duty to fight to keep the ruling Monarch in position. It's unusual in people so young as me, but I would probably die in defence of the Royal Family.

3nodding I am the same.

As i've said before elsewhere, I think the ruling Monarch should be given supreme power and dictatorship over the country. I hate the current system... Nothing gets done! We need one leader![/fascism] xd

Cam on! The Royal family may not do much, but they're...they're just an indispensable part of British history, culture and tradition. Let us not follow the example of the world and do away with our traditions! WE ARE BRITISH!

*declares his loyalty to her majesty*

For the Queen! xd

I don't really care. They seem to be a bunch of fools except the Queen

That's why I love them.

And that is why they'll not be deposed of any time soon. I've never spoken to anyone who is as fervently anti-royalist as that. The Royalists are willing to fight for them, the anti-royalists don't care all that much.

Apathy. I'm not sure if I totally agree with the idea that "because it is a tradition it is inherently good", however.

It's a bit more than a tradition... It's a part of what makes us British.

No it's not; being born on this archipelago makes you British, the fact that we have a constitutional monarchy has nothing to do with it.

The fate of the Royals is dependent upon the whim of the populace and Parliament.

...But it would be like taking huge chunk out of our history and culture. neutral If you're going to get rid of the Royal family you may as well knock down every castle that still stands, you may as well burn and destroy every last historical artifact we still have. You may as well industrialise the entire country, modernising every last inch of it. Frankly I would rather be dead than see that happen.
