They affect the British people??

I bet the imported immigrant types flooding in from middle east and India and leeching on the UK tax-payer are a worse drain.

Australia, however does have a constitution - The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia

I understood Canada had a formal constitution (but I may be wrong)

Although the US constitution is old it's still a very good and relevant document - but agree - as lines are blurred in the modern age it gets tested more and more

I agree with your comment on the US here - however I would also ask "are they truly living within the spirit of the Constitution." That's the more pertinent question.

Ok. This is where confusion lies. What people really mean by a Constitution is a clear set of rules which protects their democratic individual rights. We have that. The NZ Bill of Rights Act 1990.

A constitution is quite different. It is a set of rules which describes the way a counntry is to be governed. You are correct about Australia and Canada in that sense - their constitutions are all about imposing a federal government over states/provinces/territories. So they aren't concerned with human rights, rather how laws are made, changed, and who they apply to.

We are so used to the American Constitution which is actually a Bill of Rights, that the terms get confused.

Thank you 98tls a superlative example of the stupidity the royal family is capable of.

Ask yourself what kind of governance sends all of the criminals to an island paradise while the rest of the law abiding population has to stay in a cold, gray, overpopulated shit hole.
Idiots!

Yep,ive often pondered there reasoning myself mate.

I did always wonder why my ancestors thought that the UK was a better option than, say Fiji or NZ.

Actually, my grandad was supposed to go to Australia with his brothers, but met my gran and decided to stay in Glasgow instead (without his furniture, which sailed on to Australia alone ) Rather glad he made that call TBH!

For example.. decommision the Royal Yacht Brittania. The cost is pennies..

Spend more on president bliar's personal jet. A personal jet available to ministers to fly home (100 miles or so) to pick up a passport that she'd forgotten..

it is owned by a charity and it is a venue for corporate events which I assume helps pay for the boat?

[Grahameeboy]

Doooode....seriously! Those bludging, blood thirsty, totalitarian, evil-evil family members have brought nothing but abject fucken misery to the people of the British Isles for fucken centuries.
Off with their heads.

Well that was the way of the world then...and most of it really stopped in the late 17th Century.....move on old fellow

She may or may not be a lovely, competent, old duck but unfortunately Dave, it's those politicians that are making the decisions, the monarchy has no power and I fail to see why the long suffering British taxpayer (yay for not being one anymore) should continue to subsidise her and her parasitic german clan.

If we want to have someone to entertain foreign bigwigs and cut ribbons on new bridges, why shouldn't it be someone who has acheived something other than to be the descendent of someone who was handy with a sword?

As well as hosting royal banquets and receptions, Britannia was an ambassador for British business, promoting trade and industry around the globe. Indeed the Overseas Trade Board estimates that £3 billion has been made for the Exchequer as a result of commercial days on Britannia between 1991 and 1995
