Well, he does seem to be easily confused....
Best descriptive paragraph ever.
Awesome post. Thanks!

Yes, and the unelected monarchy of England invaded the USA and killed lots of Americans. It happened in the War of Independence. Did you forget that ? And who opposed the great USA and its Constitution ? Why, the elite monarchy of England !!
England had kings but they were all elected. They were not tax gathering slaves to the Papacy. And they were not the sovereignty of the nation. The people were.
Big differences, yes ?
One of these things is not like the other (my bolding).Agatha (and I hope you don't mind me calling you this ?),
I did NOT say all Englands kings were elected.
No, you need not read anything on my account, I am capable of doing my own research. So you are, indeed, mistaken in what you believe that I wish.In fact, I said the very opposite. I said that the head of the state in which we are living is an UNELECTED DYNASTY. (As you can clearly see on this thread).
Secondly, I said the early kings included those who were elected. And I gave you an example in King Saul.
Which is not good enough for you.
I further suggested you read a book on early English history.
But (unless I am mistaken) you wish me to read it for you.
Would you care to say when, and in which location, I should do this service for you, and whether my consent and yours has been obtained before it takes place ?
Yours most sincerely
Read it again, with care. You might pick out that I had registered the Queen as 'figurehead'. This means she and her monarchy, while having seeming to have quite a lot of power at first inspection, actually have very little, as they are prevented by convention from using it. Once again, try next time with evidence. Show me the monarchy has and uses excessive power, and how in any way the monarchy is at current against the interest of the public.
No Sir, I no longer think on the matter at all, since I know it plainly.
I have never heard of a freeman in prison for the Common Law of England. Show me a single case.

This obtained NO mandate from the people of this nation, with whom is (and always has been) national sovereignty. Nor was it ever sought from them. Despite promises. A clear case of the monarchy acting contrary to the sovereign will of the people. Since the people of this nation have given no such consent in respect of the sovereignty of this nation. Furthermore, monarchy itself does not have the consent of the people of this nation and has never sought it.
Gosh, what was that vote in 1975 for, again?
Yes, it is so poetic it would be trodden under the hoof before it got to the courtroom.
Well, there's this thing called parliamentary democracy...
I asked you who makes common law. Suddenly's excellent post shows that when you say "common law" you really mean "natural law". Here are wikipedia's simplified definitions of each:
Common law refers to law developed by judges through decisions of courts and similar tribunals (called case law), rather than through legislative statutes or executive action, and to corresponding legal systems that rely on precedential case law.
Natural law or the law of nature (Latin: lex naturalis) is a theory that posits the existence of a law whose content is set by nature and that therefore has validity everywhere.[1] The phrase natural law is opposed to the positive law (which is human-made) of a given political community, society, or nation-state, and thus can function as a standard by which to criticize that law.
Which of these is closer to what you mean when you say "common law"?
Yes indeed. And the parameters of Parliamentary democracy do not include political union with the European Union. They are confined to the government of the United Kingdom.
Furthermore, EU integration is contrary to the Constitution of England.
And, finally, the sovereignty of this nation is its people. Who gave no mandate.
I think I may have spotted your problem.
Can you quote the specific words in the "Constitution of England" that state the above?
Certainly. On only one simple condition. Please tell us -
Is the sovereignty of a nation found with its people ?
That depends on what the constitution says. Where would you say sovereignty lies in an absolute monarchy?
