What is the Queen for?

[Ayahuasca]

We have always been led to believe that the monarch is where we as a country can draw strength in times if crisis.

But now her kingdom is at risk of being broken up, people look to her for leadership and she says she cannot interfere?

I am sorry your majesty, but if you cannot interfere in something like this, just what are you and your family for?

[Rovinghawk]

What was said was that the politicians can't drag her name into things.

She can speak for herself.

[Mermaid]

Keeping her credibility by not siding with the losing team.

[Grumfutock]

Is the correct answer for taking tax payers money and opening things?

[McWigglebum4th]

Mostly to keep Ed Milliband from turning up at any international event like the olympics etc and being there to represent the UK


If we can't have the royals then we should have a goat as the head of state

Making the plebs feel good about themselves.

So that neither Ken Livingston nor Boris Johnston can become president.

Good question, does anyone know the dead cert answer?

[jmorgan]

She is for winding up the people that like to out their umbrage on forums saying we should get rid of her....

She is doing an excellent job.

She's there because some people like to feel subservient to others. It stems back to the medieval days and 'the great chain of being' where everyone had a place in the cosmic heirachy with God at the top, then the angels then kings and queens, then Lords and then peasants above the animals and plants and so on, everything imaginable fits into it somewhere, giving order and meaning to the universe.

While this could be correct there is one small problem

Remove the queen and suddenly you have Ed Milliband thinking he is two steps from god


For this reason we should replace the royal family with a ceremonial goat

Then Ed Milliband is one step below a goat wearing a frock


Try picking a hole in my logic

Then YOU are below Ed and at least two steps below a goat wearing a frock.

As the Head of State, she is the guarantor of our Constitution, which provides for the government of the people, by the people. She cannot take sides in any debate, so it would plainly be wrong for her to take sides in a democratic debate, and would ultimately undermine her position. It is her ministers' jobs to make the case for the Union.
