Re: Cameron, the Queen and the Scottish referendum Archived Message Posted by John Monro on September 19, 2019, 11:11 am, in reply to "Re: Cameron, the Queen and the Scottish referendum" I don't think you can truly know who the Queen would like in Downing St. She's worked with a number of Labour PMs during her reign, and I'm not aware of any particular antipathies. I suspect the Queen may be a bit more politically progressive in some ways than you might think. She would be more aware than most that even her position cannot be taken for granted. She would be very concerned about any major social and political unrest in the country that might cause the house to crumble. In which case, she'd be concerned to see all citizens treated fairly and sharing more equally in the rewards of being a citizen of the UK. A happy, healthy, contented citizenry don't have any call to upset the apple cart A PM who promised this for the UK might be very welcome. Evan an avowed republican like Corbyn. There's this article about how the Queen has been dragged into this mess. https://www.politico.eu/article/a-royal-mess-queen-elizabeth/ it also explains why Craig Murray's ideas that the Queen has failed her duties is wrong. If she had declined to prorogue parliament at Boris' request, that would have been a massive constitutional crisis. It seems odd too that a republican like Craing would be criticising the Queen for not doing something when he wouldn't have her around in any case Message Thread: Cameron, the Queen and the Scottish referendum - Mary September 19, 2019, 8:30 am Re: Cameron, the Queen and the Scottish referendum - John Monro September 19, 2019, 9:57 am Re: Cameron, the Queen and the Scottish referendum - Mary September 19, 2019, 10:06 am Re: Cameron, the Queen and the Scottish referendum - Mary September 19, 2019, 10:08 am Re: Cameron, the Queen and the Scottish referendum - John Monro September 19, 2019, 11:11 am Re: Cameron, the Queen and the Scottish referendum - Gerard September 19, 2019, 11:25 am Re: Cameron, the Queen and the Scottish referendum - Mary September 19, 2019, 11:42 am Another outbreak of foot-in-mouth disease - SueC September 19, 2019, 3:11 pm Re: Another outbreak of foot-in-mouth disease - dovetailjoint September 19, 2019, 3:50 pm   Searching
