2015 UK General Election

All I ever hear is "good for tourism". I also hear that's a bit of a bogus argument, so I don't know what to make of that. I don't know the details. But really, what a sad state of affairs. A family becoming a reality show endorsed by the government.

It does make me uneasy knowing that technically the royals have not just power, but ultimate power. I dread to think what would happen should they actually try and use it.

I heard on the election bollocks about what would happen if Cameron came up one seat short on the required amount. They talked of him "going to the queen". That is startling, it seems to be saying she has the authority to overrule the parliamentary restriction.

I think England should make its mind up what the hell it is, and if it's not a theocracy then the royals should have no actual power. Being both at the same time appears to be working great for now. But just like the bible, having dangerous documentation lying around that can be harmful just by taking it seriously, when you'd actually have good reason to take it seriously, is a big risk.
