    Yes that's true and that's something you'll find in all societies. The natural order of humanity is much like a pyramid. Doesn't mean I approve of it though.
    Well I would not agree because Britain is a constitutional monarchy which limits power from the crown.
    So even if the crown does have input into govt/law making then it would still limited but would help balance out power instead of the house of commons having the lions share.
    This would also help to cut down the effects of lobbying which will always exist but it is far better to contain and to minimise it.

    A constitutional monarch as Head of State is infinitely preferable to a politician as Head of State.

    Correct. Germany, like Britain, has a ceremonial Head of State.

    Like the British monarch, the German president has few political powers. The German president is what you could call an elected monarch.

    Why would I believe YOU? However I have no idea what you statement means.

    Germany has a lerger economy (and a larger population) but the UK has vastly more soft power than Germany. Masking silly comments about iny dots is just pathetic. Britain is the 8th largest Island in the world.

    The big question is why the largest country in the world ..Russia has such a puny economy.

    When did I say it was a great empire? Take a look at what soft power means and where the UK is in the soft power index.

    The rouble isn;t looking too good right now is it?

    GBP_RUB_6month.png (pound vs rouble)

    Now Russia is 3 times the British size in population and vastly larger in area with vastly greater natural resources. SO how much larger is the manufacturing value ? 3 times ? Four times? five times maybe?

    The GB problems is in what the GB have nothing with comparable what the Russia have within of its borders. Funny London's stock market is financial bubble ,all material resources of Western Europe is on Russia's territory .Sab so all silly your delusions about russian currency it is only your own.

    No delusions.

    the graph is there for you to see.

    I see you are incapable of answering my questions about manufacturing output.

    That,of course, does even begin to compare with Financial services. I mean who would put their money in a Russian bank- however lots of Russians have their money in British banks..I wonder why?

    Your pathetic attempt to protect GB has no connection with reality ,your crazy financial bubble have one feature - bubbles burst, but the oil, gas, iron, nickel, gold ... All this and much more is still on Russia's territory.

    You seem to be a bit obsessed about your idea of the UK. It isn't that interesting. Take up knitting.

    It was a major stumbling block when Australia was considering changes to the government. Having a US style president or the Irish model as we call it. I tend to agree with you - A president potentially can have way to much power invested in them. So I guess that means I would be in favor of the ceremonial style president

    He's an eastern european. Probably had his attempt to come to Britain denied (only muslims allowed into Britain it seems going by Immigration office records - utterly disgraceful) so he's a bit p*ssed off with us in general
    Besides who cares what some Russian pillock thinks of GB ? Plenty of middle class British creeps think all Russian look like Brezhnev still - and the Russian men even worse !

    Chelsea football club belongs to Abromovic. Absolutely true and so what? Its my team and I was delighted he bought it since he can't take it away with him and has put over 100 million in it and got us a shedload of silver wear. He has put Russian money into the UK and taken NOTHING out. It all win for us,

    I have no idea what you are talking about.

    You can buy all the football teams you like. You can't take them away with you so who cares?

    Has Russia gone socialist again? I thought Abramovich was a businessman? If I'm right then he has invested some of his money, his money, not state money, in buying a football team (Chelsea) which is an instrument of production. This instrument of production produces profits for the owner(s). Does the loot go back to Russia or does it go to Abramovich's various bank accounts?

    One thing you have to understand about capitalists - they don't care about nationality until it suits them. They are into money, not patriotism.

    well he was lucky. if you consider the fact that the british girls are the euporian's ugliest girls whereas the romanian girls are not so bed (maybe a little vulgar), he is a insane or a nerd.

    One thing i have learned to understand its that people you don;t know about a situation often impose their ideological viewpoint.

    Chelsea makes no money. It loses Money. It has cost Abramovic, apart from the original purchase cost.over 100,000,000 pounds to keep going. thats not because Chelsea is unpopular- its incredibly popular- the ground is always sold out, it makes millions off TV and merchandising. The erason is because Player transfer fees are astronomical and there is a bidding war for top players.

    The loot doesnt go anywhere because there isn't any. Chelsea is a hobby of Ábramovic not a business.

    There was no smiley, nothing to indicate a Joke. Vlad is a nasty little anglophobe who makes everything into an attack on the UK. You compounded it by making another nasty little attack on english women.

    A stupid one because there is certainly no national stereotype of Engloish women being ugly -especially amongst you Italians. I was a teacher in the summer holidays whilst a student and the Italian boys who came to the Uk to study thought quite the opposite to you. Maybe you just embody the Italian male stereotype of being very short and can;t cope with tall British Girls. I find attractive women amongst almost every people I find probably the Estonians, Byelorussians and Ukranians the most attractive and Northern Europeans generally better than Southern Europeans but I would never be as unpleasant as you in insulting women in such a fashion.

    I would guess that Italian women don't find you particularly attractive either.
