Mildish anti-Monarchy, just on principle, really. But I do love all the random traditions associated with the Crown; the State Opening of Parliament has a load of these and it’s pretty fun (well apart from the speech itself 😉 ).

But to be fair liz only reads out what the P.M. has written so its not her fault.

True. I don’t really have anything against her; she seems a nice old girl. I think the anti-monarchy movements are going to get a big boost once she pops her clogs, not on any matter of actual principle, but because people do seem to geniunely like her.

100% monarchist. I know the system has faults, but as others have said, what is the alternative? Mr President Blair? I work in a job where I can die for my country and I would prefer to give my loyalty to the Queen (And yes Charles) Than any Politician, but as Mrs Nobbs always tell me i’m born in the wrong age…
