MittzressOfMittzchief · 04/06/2012 09:01

I can't answer 1. with either because I am a republican but am not a 'giving a shit' type of person, and also recognise how important it is to lots of people.

  1. Yes. I love the Olympics and it is fabulous for them to be in Britain. I hope we do well for the Nation's pride. I am also deeply patriotic.

Yes.....ish. I do appreciate the historical significance but I would never stand for hours just for a sighting of HRH.

Olympics........I wish Paris had got it. Too much money being spent IMO.

ErnesttheBavarian · 04/06/2012 09:22
  1. sort of.
  2. No.
TheFallenMadonna · 04/06/2012 09:23

Don't have a simple answer to 1. I'd rather we didn't have a monarchy, but as we do, then it doesn't seem inappropriate. What I don't understand is people who want a monarchy with no royal trappings.

  1. Yes. Looking forward to them v much.
worldgonecrazy · 04/06/2012 09:24

Yes. I am pro-Monarchy.
Yes. (Though family member is a very strong contender to win Gold so I do have a vested interest)
And I'm not thick either, I just haven't read a convincing argument against either.
