Default Re: UK Queens Jubilee

^I get the points but so many other things need to happen first.

First you need a large party who is willing to take on the Queen. Labour & Tory or Lib Dems aren't going to vote for that. So it need these thousands of these vocal supporters to start their own party locally and run with it. It's no accident that BNP, UKIP set up in the most already racist parts of Britain. It's the same reason the Green Party get their first MP in Brighton - therefore this party should set up in the most anti-monarch parts. I dunno, say Bristol (seems like that sort of place).

Once you have your first MP then you make your voice heard. Get your 2nd MP and keep doubling until you have an opposition.

These parties already exist to some extent - Socialist parties want to redistribute the wealth and I bet that is in their manifesto.

So many other things albeit still hard are easier to do. Like tobin tax or similar, cap on CEO wages and bonuses, unions allowed to flourish, close tax loop holes and "efficiencies", living wage...
