70. What are major goals and beliefs of Republicans?

The republicans need to read a bit more of the Bible so they understand it’s they and their rich friends who are going to hell and not the poor. I don’t suspect we’ll see to many republicans or rich people getting lifted up when the rapture comes. I also expect that when the anti christ does show up the republicans and the rich will be some of his greatest supporters. Why would anything change as that’s exactly where I see them standing right now.

71. How often are elections held in Britain?

For parliamentary elections the United Kingdom is divided into 650 constituencies of roughly equal population. The average constituency contains about 60,000 registered votes. Any British citizen from the age of 18 registered as an elector for the constituency elects a single member to the House of Commons.Voting is on the same day (usually on Thursday) in all constituencies, and the voting stations are open from 7 in the morning till 9 at night. Each voter has only one vote, if he knows that he will be unable to vote, because he is ill or has moved away or must be away on business, he may apply in advance to be allowed to send his vote by post.

72.When were women allowed to vote in UK?

Women's suffragists in the United Kingdom was a national movement that began in 1872. Women were not allowed to vote in Great Britain until the 1832 Reform Act and the 1835 Municipal Corporations Act. Both before and after 1832, establishing women's suffrage on some level was a political topic, although it would not be until 1872 that it would become a national movement with the formation of the National Society for Women's Suffrage and later the more influential National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS). The movement shifted sentiments in favour of woman suffrage by 1906. It was at this point that the militant campaign began with the formation of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU).[ Some have argued the militant suffragettes turned to violence and discredited and postponed votes for women.

73.What do you know about the Royal Family? How rich is the Queen? How is her expenditure financed?

The Queen is supported in her official duties by other working members of the Royal Family who carry out a wide range of public engagements.

In this section, you can learn more about their working lives, involvement with charities and personal interests.

Thousands of people meet members of the Royal Family each year. This section includes guidance on greeting a member of the Royal Family as well as information on how to contact the private offices of each individual.

The British Royal Family is financed mainly by public money, but there are also a number of private sources of income. The British Parliament meets the cost of the Sovereign's official expenditure from public funds. This includes the costs of the upkeep of the various royal residences, staffing, travel and state visits, public engagements, and official entertainment.

74.What ceremonial activities have always been associated with British kings and queens?

Ceremonial activities have always been

associated with British kings and queens and, in spite of changing attitudes, many

traditional ceremonies still take place. Royal marriages and funerals, for instance, are

major ceremonial events. Royal processions play an important part on occasions such

as the opening of Parliament, when the Queen drives in state from Buckingham

Palace to Westminster, and the arrival of visiting heads of State. Such royal

ceremonies normally attracts large crowds; millions more in Britain and abroad often

follow the events on television.
