Seeing as the next in line to the throne has the intellect of a Turnip I'd say no.

He has more opinions than his mother....of whom we have no idea about her views

If it meant Charles could by bypassed and the gig went to William I'd say yes. That will never happen of course and it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the Queen will outlive Charles anyway. I think she could keep on trucking as the very thought of Charles being King literally makes me want to puke.

Spelling....he is not perfect...but you'd think Her Maj would want to put her feet up.

She hasn't put a foot wrong in 5 decades. Not one controversial comment. Not one.
Charles is an absolute prat. I'd hate the idea of him being King. |

they don't do anything anyway the royals. the gig is just to stay out of bother (which the Spanish King and family were having trouble with), turn up every now and again in a gold carriage for pics, approve the constitution (ha), raise a few bob, ride the odd Chinook and attract Americans.
so the Queen may as well sit on her throne till she cops it. |

Well not difficult .. she only speaks on Christmas day ! |

...and it's all written for her even then.

No abdication. Keep on Monarching. And enjoy the Derby on Saturday.

She could abdicate directly to George in the spirit of King Henry
|

By:
Nein, sie muss abdanken!!
She should be allowed to die on the throne (just like elvis) for doing a sterling job. Then the whole place should be made into a museum and mothballed, the inbreds disbanded and the whole preposterous ethereal nonsense of one family ruling others should be ended for good. Take away the civil list and make the 'windsors' be forced into work just like 'ordinary folk'. |

Arise King Charles. A man for all seasons.

Must be really hard shaking all those hands and getting all those free dinners.
Any country that still has a monarchy is a country firmly stuck in the past. |

Maybe so Wesdag but the monarchy is a cash cow for the uk and the envy of most of the world.

guillotine imo.
Most of the world think its quaint and backward. Like the Amish, carts instead of cars, hth |

People actually do research on these claims and suggest that its actually false, people come to see history and therefore it doesn't have to still be in operation. Id also challenge the theory that its the envy of the world. So people actually want a made up doctrine that has no basis in fact (that one family has a right to rule over others) the only reason they are no longer despotic is because of the civil war and the parliamentarians, but look how that one turned out. You got one set of inbreds suggesting they should be able to rule with tyranny and another clique who decide on the laws between themselves. |

By:
Absolutely, and here are the main reasons why - IMO, of course.
1/ She could be there to help and guide Charles. Without her, I wonder if he will put his foot in it more often than not. 2/ It would avoid the absolute avalanche of media idiocy which is going to accompany her death. When she does die it will be terribly, terribly sad but the slightly older and more sensible ones among us will despair at what will be a completely OTT carry on from the media and the younger generations. Christ, people cry now because their football team concedes a goal. I can imagine what it will be like when Liz passes away and I fear it. |

what would she do?
she can't really go back home...has lost touch with the teutonic relatives she'd just be sat twiddling her thumbs hold on a minute  |
