Ten things Kate can’t do once she marries Wills



While checking my email this morning, I saw the blurb for this article about the up-coming wedding between Kate Middleton and Prince William of Windsor.

It was the second prohibition that interested me:


2. Vote

Technically, the Queen and other members of her family are allowed to vote, but they do not do so because in practice it would be considered unconstitutional and not in accordance with the need for neutrality.

This is in keeping with the Royal Family's public role, which is based on identifying with every section of society, including minorities and special interest groups.

This is actually one of the many reasons I as a follower of Jesus and a Christian minister do not vote or become involved in politics or political discussions. It's actually the main reason.
