Elizabeth doesn’t “rule”, she has no real power. Her position is largely ceremonial and traditional, and I believe it’s the celebration of that history and tradition which makes the British people want to keep their royal family. It’s their choice.
I think she IS special in a sense, though, in that she is extremely dedicated to her duty in a manner not often seen these days. She’s a devout Christian woman who was anointed with holy oil and took an oath to God to serve her country until her death, and she takes it very seriously. That’s deserving of respect, IMO.
A woman who took such a special oath and had such a special annointing would publicly decry the evil that is the official prayer and policy of her own church.
She has failed miserably in that basic and simple duty to Christ and fellow Chritsians.
I agree with your sentiment!
To add a little thought here - The Kennedys should never have been given the title of the American Royalty! They are all losers, manipulators, and murderers!
You might want to read up on where British Parliament draws its authority to govern. It is from the Queen.
Any people that believe that the Queen is empowered or even approved by God to a position of authority over them deserve ridicule. (That is so 1700’s.)
“Elizabeth doesn’t “rule”, she has no real power. Her position is largely ceremonial and traditional”
Yes and no. The “Royal Assent” to bills passed by Parliament is a mere formality, but she does have the option of refusing to sign them. In this case there would be a showdown and she could essentially be fired from her job by the government. It’s the kind of thing that she would only do in the most dire emergency, like a coup d’état. King Juan Carlos of Spain had to do it once, and saved his country by doing do.
