Ridiculous. The monarch doesnt even give orders anymore, whats the point?

If the populace is favorable to it, why not? If there is enough dislike of a monarch the people will (depending on the affluence and level of development of the nation) either protest enough for a referendum or overthrow it in favor of some junta or some shit.
Supreme
A pointless waste of money and a relic of an immoral and archaic system that only serves to justify the ridiculous inequality still found in European countries, despite our widely held values to be the anti-thesis of monarchy.
>inb4 they make us more money than they take
If the UK confiscated the queens estates they would still recieve as much tourism as ever AND the country would be billions richer over night.

Awesome, especially if your government follows the british parlimentary system. Because using a "President" to fill up the slot normally meant for a King is just sad.

70% of the population want to keep them so stay mad republicunt

Not half as good as absolute monarchies

>70% of the UK aren't politically literate and are easily led by government PR campaigns.
Before the 2011 riots no one gave a shit, and ever since then the royals have been doing one major pr campaign.
Every summer major nationalist adverts and events, and all of them very closely tied to the royals.
They were popular when Diana was around, then stopped being, and now are again.
This is not a permanent state of affairs what so ever.

Because its better than having an expensive and useless president as state of head or an overpowered unicameral parliament. Theres no current system that works better than a constitutional monarchy + an upper parliament and a lower parliament and I dont think you can refute that.

You don't have to be a genius, you just actually have to have studied politics to some degree.
Most people don't even know what the ideological distinction between conservatives and labour is.
No current monarchs have power of any description, they're just for show. I guess there's not much point in keeping them around, but at least for the king of Norway, I don't think he drains much money at all.
If the United Kingdom became a republic what would it change it's name to?
The Commonwealth?
>>433801
The United republic of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

Why would you ever want a two chamber system is beyond me. Our politicians barely get anything solved with just one chamber, i can't imagine the pain of trying to get to work with two chambers.
>>433807
Because the house of lords doesnt work like a normal house, which is why the system works so well

I prefer elected head of states so that way if an absolute cunt gets elected you don't have to wait half a lifetime for them to die and leave office.

>chamber of old and sometimes wise individuals with vested interests in the country get to manipulate the actual democracy usually with good intentions
it works
Separation between head of state and head of government is important. A parliamentary system is clearly superior, too.
This can be accomplished without a monarchy, though, as done by Germany.
Better than the non-monarchies
I wish I were born in a monarchy
Germany is the country with the least tradition in Europe, it fucking sucks
