What country do you live in, and who are the monarchs? What do you think about them?
United Kingdom. And I like the Queen.
Does you monarch have any political power? If so, how much?
No. It's ceremonial only, and she doesn't even use her position to support one view over another. It still has one important power, which is to suspend Parliament and (since the army technically serves the monarchy) temporarily control the country if our political system goes seriously wrong or corrupt. I don't see this power ever being exercised, but it's nice to know that there is something between us and chaos if such a disaster happened.
Do you think your monarch should have more power? Less power? Stay the same? Should it be abolished totally?
Fine where it is. I like democracy, and the advantages of a ceremonial monarch in terms of culture and tourism are significant.
Does your monarch act as a symbol? Do you think they do a good job as a symbol?
Yes. It was funny when Bush lost it in front of the Queen. And our currency and stamps are universally known for having the Queen on them.
What do you think of monarchy as a whole?(anybody could answer this one.)
Good if purely ceremonial and you already have one. I don't think starting one where none exists is a good idea since it will inevitably end in a power struggle.
