But the Queen's accent just shits me to tears, so I lean towards the republican side of the debate.

What about her wave, poppit?

The monarchy has always been an unjust imposition upon the peoples of the world.

It involves the perpetuation of role by might via the gentic lottery of heritary selection.

It is against the most basic principles of humans: it is against darwinism. Further it is against moral and logical thought.

In short the monarchy has always sucked arse and it still does.

"oh king eh, very nice. and how'd you become king? by exploiting the workers! by hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. [snip rant]...supreme executive power is derived from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!"

*sighs* monty python is just so good...

lol but nowadays the monarchy is just a bit of a curio. interesting to look at, etc. i don't really care about ours since we don't pay taxes to maintain it...i am republican if it comes to it, but honestly don't give a damn because it hardly impacts us either way!

Yeah, I reckon. Are there any monarchies in the world where they have any control over anything other than just being there for display?
