I think Mrs. Thatcher might have been better liked in the USA than Britain.
No but it's hard not to sneak the occasional peak through the gaps between one's fingers - it's like a train wreck that you can see about to happen but you just can't stop yourself from looking.
Disagree , I like the fact that a minority goverment can be chucked out in a parlimentary system , right now I'm priveledged to watch a 2 year election campaign to the south of me .Well, being a Yank in Oz, I am experiencing the real reason for the Colonies booting out the British form of government, it is not what I would refer to as democratic!
...Not entirely, we gave the colonies ( including your America) stable governing and democracy. Surely you jest.
The commonwealth have had their chances to 'boot out the British' Monarchy and chosen not to. That is because the PM's and Ministers would be relieved of their ability to pick our pockets with new taxes, taxes for nothing more than to fill the pockets of them in office
Blood is thicker than water Don't think blood has anything to do with it

sucks to be you,And what about the PM being chucked out by a flaming out of control red head. And a rock singer managing the funding of a project worth millions, that blows out to nearly billions, and then is given another portfolio to Manage. Then she chucks out a policy introduced by a previous party that controlled illegal entry because it was introduced by the previous party and we end up with three boatloads in two days. Or doubles our contribution to a fund even the British ministers want no part of. How about we send our Carbon Tax Your way?????? Yes? Or better yet, we give you our red head!
I'm getting off topic I think, nice debate though.

I disagree , yes we have the Queen on coins and stamps but thats about itI'm completely serious with the points in my post.
There are stronger links between Britain and the Commonwealth than you seem to understand.
We squabble and sulk but, at the end of the day the Monachy and blood binds us together.
