Since Andy Burnham became Prime Minister, Labour have risen significantly in the polls to overtake Reform, who’s fortunes have fallen alongside the Lib Dems and the Greens. So what’s behind this “Burnham Bounce”? And can he succeed where Starmer failed?

Looking at the current bunch of fools running our country, I would be in favour of scraping the government and letting King Charles govern.

Mate England had a bloody civil war to abolish the Monarchy. 12 years later they came back. So probaly be the same as half of british culture is related to the Monarchy.

I'm a Christian, conservative right winger here in the UK, and it's funny how people automatically assume that I support these arrogant, pompous people, these "royals" who think they're above the "commoner", above the law, higher than everyone else, higher than Snoop Dogg, whose lives are apparently more valuable than the ordinary citizen.
It''s disgusting. The monarchy should be abolished. It's irrelevant and useless.
Change my mind

Well, this has become relevant again after the recent coronation.

No nurse no Drs no citizens advice to speak of no decent pay rates no healthcare no ambulance service , public told to make their own way ? Really??? NHS ? Seek solicitors to take action if NHS fails any part of the care you pay for this is outrageous neglect of the people.
@fannydaybreak361
December 24, 2023 at 4:33 am
End this handouts of millions of public money given to so called “royals” just a ordinary family getting huge amounts of money , 100 million of our money for a coronation that benefits NOBODY!

All things considered, the idea of Charles being chosen as a leader of the country is, quite frankly, laughable.

If the UK became a Republic, I don't think that it would mean than anyone could become President, as some anti-monarchists claim. It would most likely mean that you would get a former Prime Minister or minister as President.

Short answer, yes. And I’m working on it.

Windsor City would be great for The Royals much like Vatican City is for The Pope. I do not advise NI to be integrated into the Republic of Ireland because I've heard that the Unification of Germany has been as successful as rumored.

I think the age of monarchs should come to a graceful end. Buckingham Palace and Balmoral Castle should return to the state, and they can retain some smaller mansions here and there. Their existing wealth should be their means. But if against my wishes, they stay, then Kate Middleton should finally get a name change to Kate Upperton.

The Queen of England was a symbol of indifference ignorance and white supremacy. It even makes white people indifferent towards their countries because they'll never matter like the people they see everyday on the news. America and Britain need to leave behind These symbols of absolute power. They don't even have absolute power, they just have absolute insecurity and a dependent population
@Empoweredwoman1234
December 24, 2023 at 4:33 am
I don’t think the British people or their empire have the balls to ditch their medieval monarchy. They don’t care about popularity with younger people as long as the Boomers love them. I had some respect for the Queen but not much for the rest. The Palace courtiers are even worse.
@GeneralBongmeister
December 24, 2023 at 4:33 am
I believe the queen should not have any power in parliament, military and nor have immunity. The crown should be trialled for its crimes. If it was some random person in the UK it would be seen as "unjust"
@GeneralBongmeister
