So how would a change to a two party system be a net gain? Do you want coalition governments like Italy has? How has that worked out? I dislike both parties, and think we need term limits, and to get rid of the career politician that only thinks about their own power, and re-election.
This country isn't getting any better with the system that's in place now It's pretty much stayed the same I think Trump will make things worse but that's not the point I'm trying to make here. Yes, I agree about term limits myself and getting rid of those who have been in office WAY to long.
Yet, again we've haven't got much done with the way things are now more things need to change I remember once asking why can't we have a president from one party and a vice president from another.
Force them to work together something has to change.
I think people here are giving the Queen to much power in deciding who gets a state visit and who does not. State visits to the UK are decided by the Foreign and Commonwealth office.
She just shows up and does the glamour bit.
Now, whether or not the Foreign and Commonwealth office got some unusually strong feedback from the Royal Family is unclear.
Extraordinary times calls for extraordinary measures, as they say.
My gut feeling as time went on, and the feelings of the public in the UK became better known i.e. petition, they decided to show Trump the side door instead of the front door to avoid embarrassing The Queen and frankly embarrassing the UK. Giving him a big state visit is tantamount to agreeing with him.
No tea with the Queen, no ride in that gold-plated carriage, no banquet at Buckingham Palace, and I'm guessing no photo op with Princess Charlotte either.
It’s hard for me to envision Trump at Buckingham Palace. His character seems to resemble an irreverent American tourist more than a respectable leader.
He's white trash with money.
