Voted vote to keep them, but only just.

If only for the reason of avoiding 'President Johnson'.
Can you imagine the UK's premier representative abroad being this dribbling oaf?: Utterly embarrassing.

The Queen generally gives the UK a positive image abroad. If she didn't, half the planet wouldn't want to come and live here, would they..

Yes, would be interesting how the rest of them are perceived without the Queen's long term dedication being a major part of the image.

Charles, Andrew, Harry & co don't make for the best optics to coin a word oft used in this area

So I’ll stay with it, just need it to be slimmed down a bit, so in some ways well done Harry and Meghan for jumping ship, providing they have jumped ship!
System of democracy :D

WEF King
WEF Prime Minister
WEF Government
WEF Leader of the Opposition
WEF Opposition Party
WEF Media

Democracy is an illusion.

I find the idea of a human being bowing and scraping to another human being totally absurd.
