People generally don't like dictators, ya know?
I like to think so, and theoretically you are right.
It would come down to the people and the moment, like Hindenbrug.

The difference is, though, that the people had chosen Hindenburg and Hindenburg was in a lost situation. If he didn't accept there would be no Reichstag and Germany would fall into anarchy, if he did then he'd have Hitler. The latter is, unfortunately, preferable, given the time and lack of foresight.
The Queen, on the other hand, is not popularly elected, and relies on the backing of the people to stay in (funnily enough). She has to listen to the people or there will be anarchy, and again, having a controlled government, albeit by a revolution of sorts, is again preferable to anarchy.
Where such a situation would go after that is anyone's guess.
Get rid of all these annoying royal people, I hate them. They have ruined many days in my life, specially some day when they came walking just outside where I lived (I lived there that day), which caused a lot of annoying people to fill the road up so it was impossible to get anywhere
And the days after was also annoying because on the house just a few meters from where I lived they had some huge poster saying that the city I live in was proud that they came by???
I was close throwing something at it (something rotten). One day I decided to finally do it, then I noticed they had just taken it down a few days earlier
There's a store that has a picture of some royal people (I believe it's the same people that came to this town last summer... it was posted in their windows the day after IIRC) and since then I haven't shopped by them... ok, I've never shopped by them earlier, but that was just because I didn't need what they have, in the future I might 'need' it, but it wont be from them I'm going to buy it
If they only had that picture for a few days I would probably have forgotten about it, but it's almost a year and they still have the picture, so there's no way I can forgive them for it
Re: Isn't the royal family just a little bit silly?

That's your news media's fault, not the royals.
One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.
Well apart from them being possible imposters on the throne of britain(the real monarch is living in australia as a sheep farmer), and that they are of german and greek descent; i like having them around - they provide an emergency stop-gap if ever the political situation gets out of control.
In theory anyway, even if much of the power is dilluted. The armed forces are in alligence with the crown, and the hundreds of years of tradition that goes with the monarchy and is tied in with the british way of life(whatever that may be) is there to guarentee its continuation in any nasty situation.
something like that. So i see the monarchy as a healthy, vital part of our democratic system in the uk, ironicaly.
monarchy in the 21st century
oh and yes they are a little bit silly, but if you had their genes you'd be silly too

OMG! Constitutional crisis!!!
The idea of there being a 'Real' or 'rightful' Monarch is laughable IMHO.

Its all about the bloodline - monarchy that is.
