http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking...@Reymos, here,<br /><br />http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/477405.stm. <br /><br />Read for yourself the debate between the “royalist” and anti-monarchy advocates. And by the way, we are talking about British Monarchy and not any other’s countries’ monarchy like Thailand whose king still has some political clout. Don't compare the two as if they are one and the same. Here in the Middle East, monarchs are still “all-powerful” as they were in the past.<br /><br />“… but for Northern Ireland and the rest of British Isles, monarchy will continue to play a vital role in social, economical and political terms.”<br /><br />What is your basis on this opinion? Social role, yes, but in economics and politics, no. The term “ceremonial” means not only attending social functions but also heading “charities”. But they don’t make decision when it comes to the political and economic affairs of UK. That’s the job of the Prime Minister and his cabinet. That’s also one of the reasons why the Queen doesn’t like Margaret Thatcher because the “Iron Lady” doesn’t confer with the monarchy on her administration decisions.

It is not "purely ceremonial" but the Royal family plays an important role in shaping the society (like the UK). Yes, they share a portion of the country's expenses but they have ongoing projects (and charities) that benefit the community. I did experience it particularly in Thailand where some of the projects in the countryside are managed by the King and Queen (Sirikit). Maybe for Aussies and Kiwis, the presence of the Royal Family is not a big deal but for Northern Ireland and the rest of British Isles, monarchy will continue to play a vital role in social, economical and political terms.Reymoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070573070853493357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608602382887404648.post-30861635099192745052010-01-24T20:00:23.844+10:302010-01-24T20:00:23.844+10:30CHYNG
