Poll: Queen Elizabeth II hospitalized. Is it time for her to abdicate?

[Platypus]

She was chosen by the divine to rule until death, so no.

[Old Man Svensson]

If you abolished the whole thing this wouldn't be an issue.

Again, mods, is there anything we can do about this disgusting sort of discussion polluting the forum?

Exactly. Winfield, you're just jealous and this behavior is ban-worthy.

Just for the fact that you seriously just brought the "you're jealous" argument into a serious political debate, I don't believe I will ever be able to bring myself to respect you ever again.

Be the thread irrelevant or not - the argument can, indeed, be made that it is - the amount of false outrage coming from the false progressives here is utterly shameful.

[You kip if you want to...]

She'll easily outdo Victoria, let's be serious.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

No.  The thought of King Charles is repulsive.

I never say I'm progressive. I'm a Democrat trying to save the party from "progressive" takeover.

So the party is worth more to you than the ideal. I could go on for hours as to why I think people like you and the Republican party as a whole are the reason we might very well not have a country to change soon, but again, at least you're honest about having all the political depth of a tea tray.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

She will be Queen until her death.

[Silent Hunter]

She's far healthier than most people 10 years younger. She should stay.

No, I just think that the Democratic Party is built on different values than "progressive" ones. I will fight for those, not for "progressive" ideas because I disagree with them.

You will have to excuse me, but I was under the impression that the Divine Right of Kings, or queens in this case, died out in the 16th century.

This discussion is really thought provoking.

From what I've heard about her, she takes the role and the process of annointing VERY seriously. She believes it's a life task, and she won't stop until she is physically and/or mentally incapable.

Plus her personal and the institutional memory of what happened last abdication. Desertion is putting it mildly.

The Divine Right of Kings as an explicit political theory was developed around the sixteenth century in England. Did you mean seventeenth?

Yes, it is. She reminds me of Speaker Boehner. Despite the approval from both the House of Lords & House of Commons, she still refused to pass the equal rights bill for gays throughout the Commonwealth. She's just asking for something to happen to her & her incredibly frail husband Prince Philip.

I don't think you know what you're talking about. Welcome to the forum.

In her commitment speech for the equality bill in the Commonwealth, she didn't even use the words "gays" or "lesbians" which wasn't the bills original intent. Its intent was specifically for the LGBT community and for full protection under Parliament.

Chill. Philip & Elizabeth have been in and out of the hospital several times over the past few years and their bound to die of health related issues soon since they're in their late 80's & early 90's. If part of the reason she refuses to abdicate is so she can become the longest reigning British monarch, then she has about 4 years to go and she's only wasting her, Prince Charles, and everyone elses time by not abdicating.

Threatening? You have got to be flat-out f**king kidding me.

Well the longer Her Majesty keeps Charles and that whore wife of his away from the throne, the better in my view. Hopefully she outlives him.

It isn't a bill, and the lgbt stuff was left out of the declaration overtly, but included by interpretation, because half the commonwealth wants to kill gays.

The fact that she signed it very, very publicly even though ill is actually an indicator that she approves of the call for protection and equality.

Agree. Camilla is disgusting.

Shut up, Lief.

Nah I'm good, friend.
