Do you think people that live in countries under the rule of Royality resent them?

Question

I mean that the leaders are automatically in place because of blood lines.

Answer 1

I am an Aussie/American, who now lives in the US, but have lived in Australia all my life. We are a part of the commonwealth, and the queen of England is our queen too. If you ask me, its absolutely useless. We should just have a President rather than a Queen, a Govenor General, and a Prime Minister. Everything has to go through her, and she never even comes to our country! Why should some old fart from another county, be our queen. It doesnt make sense. America and Australia are basically on the same page with lifestyle etc. We are the most similar to eachother than anywhere else, so imagine if you were ruled by a Queen who wasnt even from your own country. We voted a few years back to become our own, but the baby boomers and the elderly voted against it. In the next 10 years, its predicted that with the rise of the younger generation she will be out, and a president will be in. I hope.

Answer 2

Yes I think they do, I`m an Aussie and i know we had a vote on who wanted to stay under the monarch`s rule or who wanted Australia to be an independent country because as it stands we are part of the commonwealth which comes under
British law along with a heap of other countries, Even though the Royals do not reside here they still have a say in things through the Governor general of our country. I don`t think we`ll ever break free as their are a lot of monarchists here and they will never let the Queen go.

Answer 3

I agree with Zahir. It depends on what country you're talking about, I come from a country where the king is the actual ruler of the country. If you ask me, I think he's just a spoiled kid who inherited something that he doesn't deserve and doesn't know how to handle and now everybody is suffering because of the idiot. While in countries like GB, New Zealand, Australia, etc..., monarchy is just a reminiscence from the past when those countries where dictatorships ruled by the king or the queen, and in many cases, people who live in those countries have nothing against the royalties, simply because they're not involved in the decision making process and the determination of the country's fate... a democratically elected group of people do.

Answer 4

Bollox,

as the Brits will say. As a matter of fact, constitutional monarchies like Britain, Canada, Australia, Netherlands, Denmark etc are less politically divided than countries like the US, France, Russia, Ukraine for exaple (all republics). A constitutionally installed monarch is not a political leader who owes his/her allegiance to a single party, region or group of people who put him/her in power but to all the people, as a symbol of that nation's culture and heritage. This symbol is shared by all citizens, old and new and often times by citizens of countries once a part of an empire once ruled over by the forerunners of the current monarch. Such people are generally loved in the country due to their non-political and hence less controversial statements and can hence rally the country in times of crisis and need. Perhaps America should put a crown on Oprah's head or that of Bill Gates ... that is if you can find one big enough. More to Oprah she nearly sued some publication this week for merely musing at the possibility of her getting into public life!

There have been observances of countries in Africa where it was noted that those former colonies of the British empire now members of the British Commonwealth are for more stable and advanced than their neighbours who were not so aligned. For example Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and Ghana are said to be the leading Subsaharan African states in terms, of economy, political stability and development and all were former British colonies and are current British Commonwealth countries.
