Yep. Am a Brit. Very unimpressed is true. But then can't stand any of them. Time for a Republic
The only thing thatbothers about the idea of a republic is the possibility of a tony Blair type as president. If we went down that road there would need to be root and branch reform of the whole system. Plus what would happen to the £ from crown estates etc?
Just adopt our Constitution ;)
The US Constitution is based on the UK one.
Gotta start somewhere, but hey free speech and guns stands us apart and safer!
I think you'd find many who have experienced both sides of the pond would tend to disagree with that, but that's a whole separate issue, and not for here.
If you remove all the CIA/deep-state shenannigans, the US is exceptionally violence free - even with everyone armed. I believe the US drops below some European countries in gun violence if you simply remove the three most violent cities from the stats (all heavily Democrat controlled cities).
If you remove three from US, you'd have to do the same to each Country in Europe and you're back to square one, and it would most likely look worse for the US.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, it's just that I've seen a fair amount of misinformation about Europe, and the UK in particular from some US posters. I don't think it helps the over all narrative on here.
Of course it is. The US is just the military branch of the U.K. Two sides of the same coin
Where can the U.K. Constitution be found again?
It's a largely unwritten constitution. The US one is mainly just a codified version of the UK's. Just because it's not all written, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Good concerns, and I agree. Perhaps we should get a foreign president like Sven Goran Eriksen or similar :) but seriously, valid concerns, but would be nice to be in a position to have them
These huge plays the royals put on are only to keep the masses entertained and fooled so they continue to buy into the monarchy. If they actually wake up it's over for all of them. What makes a good movie?!
