Why is the Queen such a bad public speaker?

[Darat]

Gumboot's post was certainly comparing her to one. And regardless of her relative lack of influence in actual policy making, the British government still recognizes her as the nominal head of state, so I don't think "political leader" is entirely inapt.

And we know her idiot eldest son definitely tries to wield political power, I have no doubt she has at least tried to meddle over the years.

Just listened to a snippet of our most successful social security scrounger giving one of her many public speeches.

This woman has probably given more public speeches to more people than anyone in history - and yet her delivery is still absolutely crap! How?!

No incentive or pressure to improve.

I think that nails it on the head. Certainly there is no-one to give her good, constructive feedback and even suggest she improves. And it also explains why her eldest son despite being a tad better is also so crap.

Question asked. Question answered. Answer accepted by the OP. If this was "Forum Qestions" the thread would now be closed by an Admin (Darat?).

What political party is she a member of then?

When 900 years you are, sound as good you will not.

It is crazy you should start this thread. Sparked by a recent viewing of the King's Speech I downloaded a couple of George V1 speeches - She uses the same rhythmic pace and inflections her father did, after he learned how to correct his own issues.

So she is basically being her father's daughter

How about highly experienced Independent political leader? Politicians do not have to belong to a party to be a politician. She came to the throne before the current prime minister (David Cameron) + Tony Blair were born and before two other previous prime ministers started their first full time job.
