  • Excited. Can't wait
    @Hostafan1 what the Archbishop was asking for is an idea of a kingdom from the time after the 16th century. The kingdom was interpreted as a body. The king is the head and the people are the rest of the body. That’s why it was a crime to commit suicide because this was like taking off a finger from the body. 
    The commitment today was not towards the King in person but the King as head of the body. 
    Being a constitutional monarchy, this still applies but some legal adjustments were made.

    My apologies @Hostafan1 read in the Reasons to be Cheerful, that you were pleased to see the "TORY HUMILIATION", and assumed therefore Labour. I forgot that you are Scottish. My error!!

    Well reasoned explanation, @Simone_in_Wiltshire .  Thanks for that 👏

    @Hostafan1 in case you’re one of those who have the illusionary idea of Not my king, the moment you are born and get the citizenship of a country, you are condemned to give your life for the country if the country asks you to do it. Dying in a battlefield doesn’t make it better if it’s for an elected head of state.
