CG has summed things up pretty well, and he does, indeed, have good formatting. I just can't bring myself to vote in favour of something I disagree with. It's like I'm in a café and they're offering BLTs with or without cheese, but I do not want a BLT but want a pasty.

Oh, and very crafty of the 'No' campaign to redirect http://www.yes2av.org to their pages.

Stop saying CG. EBG is CG.

Labour have been pulling in the disaffected LD voters though, not the Tories.

Good Friday, Easter Monday, Royal Wedding Bank Holiday, Mayday Bank Holiday. Two 4-day weekends in a row, take the 3 days off in the middle, spend 11 days at home.

I would dearly like to see what happens if the "anarchists" attack the royal wedding, our grannies are going and I know mine for one isn't going to stand for that shit.

Looks that way, aye.
CON 35%, LAB 42%, LDEM 9% compared to the election's CON 36.1%, LAB 29%, LDEM 23%.

I can't imagine they're going to be wiped out in the manner some people think.

I'd love a referendum on Britain becoming a republic, because I like democracy. In theory.

plenty of people also hate the idea of "President Blair".

I do not see any reason why getting rid of the Monarchy would be a good thing.

The tourist trade would certainly suffer without it.

And we'd have some ordinary pensioner on our stamps, money and other things.

Less tourists in London. Doesn't affect me. Get 'em oot.

The amount of money they bring almost certainly does.

I'm pretty sure I'm in no way affected by their money, through either direct or indirect means. I've thought about it quite laterally as well.

Less money from tourism = more taxes and less spending. And shizzle.

I think you'd be somewhat affected by more taxes.

Surely the only undemocratic thing about the current setup is the monarch's veto, which has never been used (and never will be)?

I think a referendum on the Monarchy would result in one significantly in favour of keeping it. Not necessarily because everyone loves the idea of a Monarchy, but because people would see it as a way for politicians to increase their own importance. Plenty of people like the Queen, but plenty of people also hate the idea of "President Blair".

People say that, but I'm pretty sure the industry would make it up pretty easily. It's not like tourists come over here and have tea with the queen.

Keep the royal family, but make them get jobs. Proper jobs. Teach the little shits a bit about the world, like.

I think the country would have been a better place by now if we'd murdered them all a few centuries ago or something.

When was the last time you were putting other soldiers in greater danger for PR purposes in Iraq?

*twitch* *grumbles about lefties not ever admitting or caring that the Royals actually do lots of shit jobs already just look at Princess Anne's schedule*

The Queen is 84, Charles is 62 and Prince William is a god damn RAF search and rescue helicopter pilot. Lefty argument fail.

When was the last time you were fighting in Iraq?

the country is taken over in a bloodless coup by Rupert Murdoch.
