The republicanism thread.

Let’s start a thread on something that’s never ever going to happen 😂 long live OUR king 👑 just messing, but I can’t ever seeing it happen.
Like will the Boro be promoted during the reign of the king?
The way things are heading, I will start it off sitting on the fence with a " Not Likely"
 
In this debate, if you're advocating getting rid of the monarch as head of state what do you propose to replace it with?

a lot of what goes on with the monarchy annoys me, but I’d want to know what I’m voting to replace it with before I do so?

another level of elected political garbage would not work for me..
 
Anyone who watched today will realise we are a million miles away from being a republic, yes the end of an era with the demise of such a great queen and person but the monarchy is going nowhere…..
Not so sure, went out today and everywhere was absolutely packed, significantly busier than a normal bank holiday too. Don’t think as many were bothered as the media liked to believe
 
I think you are a **** for saying that today

Will Borolad259 or Rob ban me, go on, I dare you 😔
Partly agree about giving time for the funeral to be over and let people get some type of closure. She is world figure maybe the last true one we will have

But
Where are Republicans going to ask questions then if not here, all avenues in the mainstream have been closed and if people try public protest they either get arrested or beaten up or both, and there never will be a good or right time they are just going to be shouted down or arrested.

Elected political garbage is the least worst option, as Churchill once more or less said.

Fixed term, elected, salaried president with defined, limited functions. No tax evasion. No changing draft laws to benefit themselves. No hangers-on.


You can keep the pomp and ceremony in a new theme park called 'World of Windsor' if you want. Not the palaces though :D
 
So that’s twice you’ve swore at me for having a difference of opinion to you. How old are you?
How dare I have a difference of opinion? I am as old as your IQ clearly. You are everything that is wrong with this country, you are so ignorant and disrespectful and frankly deserve no respect, look in a mirror for your own sake before it is too late.

Where did I say you couldn’t have a difference of opinion? 😂

Difference is I don’t insult you for yours. That’s something children do.

I look in the mirror frequently, whatever my flaws, at least I’m not on my knees 👍🏻
 
The monarchy have too much power and influence to be removed, they’re near the top of the pyramid - it’ll never happen.

As much as you clearly don’t like it, people can have a differing opinion on the monarchy. Away from the rubbish the media have put out this last week, large numbers of people also share that opinion and should be allowed to voice it

Wow, no humility you are added to my ignore list, ignorance is clearly bliss in your eyes, you have zero compassion clearly.

Careful. He’ll be toilet papering your house with Union Jack paper if you don’t stop. Or worse, he might bring your parents into it!

Tend to agree, the US model is not one I would aspire to as a replacement.

Have to say, its been a hell of a day and I am generally for the monarchy and everything I've seen today has made me immensely proud of being British, but if you ask me to articulate why, I couldn't say.

One of the commentators said she was an unofficial monarch of the world, and I think that rings true to a certain degree, certainly moreso than a US president proclaimed leader of the free world. 4 billion people are estimated to have watched today's proceedings. You have to admire that even if you don't agree with the monarchy itself.

Where are your large numbers, did you not watch the footage? You are making stuff up that does not fit the reality. A republic we will not be any time soon
 
As much as I would like the UK to be a free democratic island.. whilst the money still controls the minds I can’t see it happening.

We might as well just have the minimum amount of scrounges and dodgepots and go for full monarchal rule!

I think they watched it because it was a momentous occasion rather than a love for the monarchy. The British have a tendency to view themselves as spectacular, in reality, the rest of the world sees us the way we see Americans.
