I don't know anybody who's really any patriotic at all. The queen doesn't really even do anything, it's basically the Prime Minister who's at the top; he's like the equivalent of a US President.
I don't like the queen. Sure the monarchy actually meant something hundreds of years ago, but it doesn't anymore.
Another British Angle on the queen...
Officially the queen can sack the prime minister and install her own at any time if she wishes. The only thing she can't do is go into the house of commons and arrest people (thank you King Charles....) or dissolve parliament. After that she can also reject any law at any time by removing her "seal" of approval...she just likes to approve everything because it's easier, and more democratic.
The country may seem democratic, but it's not. It's something between a democracy and a dictatorship...with a very lenient dictator.
The Prime Minister also has more power in England, than the president does over in America, so if we put this into perspective, the Queen is two steps up from the President at least.
(The president needs approval from Congress and the Senate basically in order to get funding for whatever it is the President wishes to do...the prime minister just...does it, and gets "voted" out next election...then voted in two elections later...O.o)
