Who, in America, cares about the monarchy in England?

Who in the U.K cares what americans think. They usually mouth off about things that they don't know anything about, as with you and this question. Go away and rant elsewhere please. If you have any complaints about your country's news agencies, take it up with them, it's none of our concern. They never fail to amaze me with their ignorance and their arrogance. Edit........We didn't run back home, you are just parroting what every other ignorant american has said, in a feeble effort to distort history, as usual. You all looked the same to the Koreans though, a dirt poor third world country that saw your backs when you were hot footing it back across the DMZ, tail between your legs. You all looked the same to the Vietnamese, another dirt poor third world country, when your backs were tuned, running back home, tail between your legs and that was in NINETEEN FIFTY THREE and NINETEEN SEVENTY FIVE

For that matter ,who gives a "DONALD DUCK " about AMERICA ? Who are they anyway ?

Oh, you are an idiot. "Unlike England, America has the distinct tradition of electing our governance" Haha! The first Prime Minister here in the UK was elected in 1714, unlike the USA, where you have been electing a President since 1789. We have had democracy since before your country even existed. I also doubt any child of yours would have the brain power to ever become President, as you clearly don't understand that: A.) The Queen is NOT the Queen of England, she is the Queen of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. B.) The UK is not an absolute monarchy and the Queen has no bearing on politics whatsoever. C.) The monarchy are not above anyone, they are human beings just like anybody else. D.) People must care about them or the media wouldn't report about them. I suggest you actually understand the way the UK works before attempting to judge us or our royal family. It only serves to make you look even more idiotic.

You seem to confuse interest in the monarchy with a desire to alter our governmental system. That is a false assumption. The American media treat the royals as celebrities, much as they treat movie and television actors. That's all. They are not suggesting that the US should have a monarchy, nor are the Americans who are interested anxious to have a monarchy. Those of us who enjoy royals watching (and we are very much in a minority in our large population) regard it as a hobby, akin to enjoying spectator sports. Plenty of people have hobbies that don't interest me. I don't waste my breath criticizing them. And why should we not be interested in something non-American? After all, many people love non-American art and music and literature. There are people -- college professors -- who make careers out of studying foreign history and culture. What is wrong with that? It doesn't mean that they are somehow rejecting American culture, simply that they are bright and sophisticated enough to be interested in matters beyond our borders. If it makes you feel any better, look at royals watching as something like going to the zoo: you enjoy observing the exotic animals, but you wouldn't want to take them home with you. And stop taking it so seriously. To listen to you, you'd think the American media and the American royals watchers were trying to foment a monarchist revolution. It's no big deal, for God's sake. By the way, the term you wanted was "pander to," not "pamper to". Edit: Incidentally, you don't seem to know much about British government. The Brits elect their government, too. Anyone can grow up to be a Member of Parliament or Prime Minister. The monarch does not run the government; the Head of Government is the PM, and that's where the real power lies. The monarch's role is symbolic and ceremonial. Edit: Well, then, you have misunderstood. The Queen does very little without the advice of the Prime Minister and the consent of Parliament. Virtually all of her on-paper powers have been delegated to the PM, Parliament, or other officers. Her assent to bills is virtually pro forma. That's what it means to "reign," not "rule". I repeat, the monarch does not run the government. On the first site below, see "Constitutional Role". On the second site, see "Authority".

Educated people care. You were not educated to be a well-rounded, nor well-mannered, by the likes of your rant, person. People who are interested in HISTORY, WORLD POLITICS, the health of U.S. ALLIES are interested. Well-educated Americans are aware that the USA is only a part of the world; to do well the U.S. must be aware of other governments, other cultures.

i could turn that around and ask why are we constantly bombarded with news about your president and every boring detail of your elections when the majority of us aren`t in the least bit interested ..so i suppose it`s because the press need something to write about

Well said, Sir Ichiban.

Who, in America, cares about the monarchy in England? Seriously, . . . 1) James Madison cared. As the author of the United States Constitution, Madison modeled the Separation of Power clause that divides the functions of government into legislative, judicial, and executive powers after customs that made up the unwritten constitution in the Mother Country. He also recalled that the U. K. has been a constitutional monarchy since the Glorious Revolution in 1688 and that the last "English monarch" before the personal union of the English and Scottish crowns was Elizabeth I, who died in 1603--17 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. BTW, the monarch has signed all the bills put before him or her since the time of Queen Anne. The Prime Minister and cabinet approve appointments before submitting them to the king or queen. Thus, the current Queen like all her predecessors since the late 17th-century serves primarily as a ceremonial chief executive and patriotic symbol for Brits and citizens of Commonwealth countries to rally around particularly in times of crisis. 2) Enough Americans care to ensure that all major TV networks and more than a few cable networks covered Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding last year. Perhaps these Americans enjoy witnessing drama and pageantry as history unfolds even at a distance. They like their British counterparts are people watchers who simply like peeking in at the life styles of the rich and famous. ---Signed an "uneducated American who always mouths off" as opposed to a self righteous Brit (Perhaps both posters on both sides of the Atlantic need to strive for more diplomatic questions and answers?)

It's the monarchy in the UNITED KINGDOM, not England. Your question is like asking British people if they care about the presidency in California!
