Any of my fellow Brits out here keen to stop the unwarranted hypocrisy of our support for democracy in Lybia, Iraq, Afghan and so on, whilst our head of state is unelected, along with about of third of our parliament?

What democracy? I can just about guarantee that all of those countries will end up with Islamic theocracies. ![[Image: mybannerglitter06eee094.gif]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i118.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fo112%2Fpussinboots_photos%2FBikes%2Fmybannerglitter06eee094.gif) If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
Yeah that's true.
But that not what the UK government is in support of. Whether or not those counties have democracy, democracy is what the UK (among others) is promoting to them. 
Although i am a republican myself, its never going to happen in the UK, we're 'islanders' and as such, pompous arseholes who love unelected inbred Germans just because of 'tradition'.
I'd love this place to be a republic though.

And just think of all the tourism they bring to the country. :rolls eyes 
So just what are you looking for here UK-ites?? You have a democratic Monarchy and you wish for a republic?? Just what is the difference?

Republic = No monarchy The accident of birth is no basis for any form of government. "All human beings are "created" free and equal in dignity and rights". Excuse me if I've got the quote wrong. But clearly any Monarchy/Aristocracy violates this principle. |
