You are very correct, umbr45, the military swear allegiance to the Monarchy. And that is an interest balance to power in the UK so one could see a
situation where the Monarchy could command the army to do something that the ruling Government does not want done.
On the issue of the royal accent, the Queen has little choice and to not sign an act in to law that has been voted on by both the House of Lords and
Commons would cause a bigger fuss that the signing of the UK ratification on the Lisbon treaty.
And I agree, we have to hope that the EU elite will listen to the Irish people, and not force them to vote again which I feel would be wrong. But
lets face, other European countries has asked their people to vote on past EU agreement until they give the right answer.
We have to face it that our Government is not interested in what the people want. we have elected them for a 5 year term and very little will change
what they want to do. The only thing we can do, is make our opinions known at the next general election which will happen no later than 2010.
If people are angry at this, then I suggest you hassle the living daylights out of your MP and make then aware of your displeasure.
