Lisa Nandy would vote to abolish the monarchy

[Sid Bishop]

IMO, the Monarchy is an outdated institution and if nothing else needs to be drastically downsized. If a referendum was held on the subject, I would vote at the very least to downsize it and by doing so would risk the wrath of my elderly Cousin who is a staunch royalist and has pictures of many of the past monarchs throughout her house !

Labour leadership candidate Lisa Nandy has said she would vote to scrap the monarchy.
Ms Nandy said that the issue would not be a priority for Labour under her leadership, but that as a democrat she would not vote to keep the royal family. Asked in a series of quickfire questions how she would vote in a referendum on keeping the monarchy, Ms Nandy replied: “I’m a democrat, so I would vote to scrap it, but actually this is not the priority as a country.”
Sir Keir said: “I wouldn’t. I think I’d downsize it and Long-Bailey said: “I wouldn’t vote to abolish the monarchy. I’d quite like to see Queen Meghan at some point.”The exchange came in a live TV debate on Channel 4 just days after the field to replace Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader was slimmed down to three on the elimination of Emily Thornberry on Friday.

It will never happen. Too many snowflakes who see them as god like and love the empire too much.

[Chicken Dhansak]

Some empire that, Northern Ireland, Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands.

Yes agree, look how all the show business ''luvvies'' are now flocking over Harry and Meghan, Elton John giving them free rides to go on Holiday in his personal jet, this couple are now on the route of charging loads of money for their personal appearances at events, tv etc. Hundreds of years ago kings ruled the Country and lead their armies out in many battles. Apart from wise kings like Alfred the great, many abused their power and the common people they were supposed to represent which in the end lead to the Civil war of the mid 17th Century which lead to Charles the first being beheaded. Although Charles the second was invited back after Cromwell died, his powers were cut back in comparison to those of his father Charles the first, so much so that by the end of the 18th century the Monarchies power had all but vanished. The younger Royals are now starting to act out their lives in the media like actors in a celebrity reality show !

I have been a republican since forever, but one sobering point is, who would replace them?
It would mean a President, and you can bet your house that after he lost office, Tony Blair would have run for President
Something to think about1

Well if it ever did happen, then restrict the period of time a President could serve, perhaps one term only of 5 years in total.

Why do we have to have a President?

[slacker]

I’m really not bothered enough one way or the other about Constitutional Monarchy or Presidential Republic. Though I do think Liz has done a decent job.

I think calling it a job is a little ott. Blimey, what I'd give to have a 'job' like that.

[slacker]

Really? I wouldn’t fancy it at all.

[RedDwarf 1881]

Obviously labour is going to be in opposition for a very very long time. They have completely lost the plot

[Howling Mad Murdock]

Neither would I.

I would vote for Lisa Nandy to shut up,though.

Would you? Mmm.. I'm not so sure about that.

Sounds costly

I wouldnt vote for the head of an elitist unelected figure head which legitimises the inequality of the British class system to be removed. I would prefer to do it in the middle of a violent revolution.

Hi Max. I see now that Dominic Cummings is reported as being an admirer of Lenin and also using communist type disrupting tactics in his role as an advisor.
