  • Why Do All You Foreigners Come Here And Debate About US Politics?

    I mean I don't go around debating about New Zealand politics, Australian or Norwegian politics. Are we really that important or fascinating?

          We should just annex the rest of the world. Then we can all be the United States of America!

            Makes a change from the shameful mess going on in my own country. Plus you lot (religious right wing conservatives) are fascinating.

              Plus Seer has already explained why I don't start a thread on Brexit or anything. No point as it's unlikely most of you are following the particulars.

                The kids that misbehave in class get the most attention. It’s why they do it.

                  The real explanation is that I have a lot of US friends and they talk about politics a lot.

                    Also, why do you care? It'll be a boring place without us.

                        What is happening in the UK? Does the Queen actually hold any power beyond being famous?

                          Seriously, I think that would be an interesting topic - "Brexit from our perspective" - and just lay out some Marquess of Queensberry rules in the OP.

                            It's all about experience.

                            Since succeeding her father on 6 February 1952, Queen Elizabeth II has been head of state of 32 different independent states; currently, there are 16 states, called Commonwealth realms. Within the Westminster system in each realm, the Queen's government is headed by a prime minister. Appointment and dismissal of prime ministers are common reserve powers that can be exercised by the Queen or her governors-general.

                            This list does not cover Commonwealth nations that are not Commonwealth realms, nor holders of offices of prime minister in colonies or sub-national entities such as states or provinces.

                            The Queen has had over 160 individuals serve as her realms' prime ministers throughout her reign, the first new appointment being Dudley Senanayake as Prime Minister of Ceylon and the most recent being Mia Mottley as Prime Minister of Barbados. Several of the Queen's prime ministers from various realms have been appointed for life to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom.

                              The forum is Theologyweb not Americantheologyweb. Why do all you Americans insist on only talking about US politics?

                              Why do you guys hog this board? Why so few threads about politics in general?
