Even only titular power?

Okay, that was funny.

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…
