That's fantastic. I have one question, though. It says that HM the Queen is "a unifying figure, the last remains of a once dissoluble union"... shouldn't that be "a once indissoluble union", or am I missing the point? If I am, I am reassured by the fact that it wouldn't be the first time and certainly sha'n't be the last!

Author: Roberdin [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 17:11:22 11/11/04 Thu Yes, I wrote the bulk of that article, although numerous comments have been added since my rather sort start. Hey, if you think it was written unclearly, then change it - that is the point of Wikipedia. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
