What if the Queen just ran the country?

I'm not a big fan of the Divine Right Of Kings.

Watery bints, lying around in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a system of government?

[scribb1e.livejournal.com]

Yes it is!

[zz]

Would PR under that system mean that several people got various sizes of sword? :>

One problem with that is that, should the Queen ever die, Git Bigears, Git Nazi for Halloween, or Git Junior will think they are entitled to run the country.

Then I'd have to organize barricades and rebrand "republicanism" to something not tainted by Americans in order to prevent them from becoming Divine King of Canada.

Too much bother.

No, thank you. Lots of us in the east and the Midlands didn't vote for the Tories either, you know. We don't deserve formal disenfranchisement.

Think of it as a new start in a liberal utopia with excellent skiing conditions!

We're thinking of renaming ourselves Nova Canadia!

So I get to relocate to to the Lake District? Cool ...

I declare the sovereign province of Paisley-land!

What's with the enclave in Devon?

[andrewducker]

I think that's where my parents live...
