people have to remember England WAS invaded by Vikings , Rome, France, Spain. You have to have leaders or you country FALLS...thats what happens, because if YOU dont have good leaders your enemies WILL..so as much as people think these are pompous assholes. Without them and you country is invaded you lose not just your country, your rights, your status, your land, your resources and then YOU have to abide by whoever defeats your country...and they might have very different ways of doing things than what you are use to....like...FORCED LABOUR....NO minimum wage.....no freedom rights. So as much as people can hate teh colonials without them you dont have leadership and when you are invaded....YOU'LL need it, because your enemies WILL have leadership....
