oh yes i remember......
God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save The Queen!
O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks, ( :DDDD)
On Thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice God save the Queen!

@13 yep thats one view, and another view, as observer status Her royal heirness was their as a viewer and nothing more, absolute monarchy?

19BK:
There are many examples of functional democracies with elected head of state, but many constitutional monarchies also tend to float to the top of the UN's Human Development Index, are usually very clean according to the Corruption Perception Index, as well as being generally very peaceable.
For example, constitutional monarchies Norway, Australia and the Netherlands lead the UN HDI 2011, also 6 of top 10 and 9 of top 30.
Correlation is not causation, but such high rankings would tend to support an argument that constitutional monarchies are clearly not an impediment to full human and social development.
