this started off as a joke comment about you coming form Spain and criticising our head of state, but you then started saying she was in some way the most powerful figure in the government, and that is simply not true in the real world.
And finally, at least the queen actually exists and evidence of her existence can be presented.

I could still think it's daft to serve her, couldn't I?
And you don't get to choose your goverment.

She's the head of the goverment and the church. She represents you in front of the rest of the world.
Otherwise, why are you paying her? What are her duties?
As I just said to Al, we'll never agree.

that your argument is incorrect. We can choose our government, you may have noticed a lot of coverage of an upcoming election. That's how we choose our government. That's the reality. The queen may be the head of state, but it is a purely ceremonial role.

OK, what (or which, I'm not sure) are the Queen duties?
