Why can't we be like Britain and just have a queen and a king, the Monarchy is so much simpler than all this democracy humbo jumbo.

First off, strictly speaking our government is a democratic republic, not purely democratic. Second, we tried that, and England wanted to tell us how (and whether, I know some people don't even want to) to worship, and they levied taxes on us that we didn't get to vote on, so, no thanks. Besides, the Royalty is mostly for show these days. All the ruling is done by Parliament.

Because the liberals haven't taken us over and destroyed democracy yet.
Also, you should check into Britian's monarchy. They don't fall under monarch rule. Britian elects their representatives as well.

Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin are all rolling over in their graves.

It's obvious you do not understand the government of Great Britain.
It's called Parliament... you may want to look into it.
Cheers, mate.
