British PM and Palace 'discussed reform'

Hello,

I think that is because, to my knowledge, in the UK we do not elect a leader, but a party. So if Gordon chose to, he could put his pet dog at the forefront of the party to become the PM

Yes, but the point I'm making is that when it comes to 'Head of...' being undemocratic, then 'Leader of...' isn't any more democratic. So why single out Royalty?

The whole lot should be replaced, including Parliament. The House of Commons should nominate and confirm its Prime Minster.

Surely, in a democracy you'd like to us to have a say on whether it gets changed?

Shouldn't we also have more of a say as to how we're involved in the EU whilst we're at it?

Some of our greatest monarchs have been women, Elizabeth I, Victoria etc so I don't think that's really an issue.

Amazing, if we were talking about making it illegal for the monarch to marry a Muslim the country would be up in arms yet it is perfectly acceptable to discriminate against Catholics.

Shoud we have a monarchy?
About time we had a referendum on that one but, hell, referendum's? Isn't that true democracy and to be discouraged at all costs.
Can't have the people actually having a say in matters of any importance!

As for Parliament, it's a joke as are most or all modern politicians.
We need a modern day Guy Fawkes, ( notice the Catholic link, ), and total electoral reform aimed at delivering a truly democratic form of government.
