I noticed that a fair amount of pol/acks advocate the existence of the Royals. Other than the fact that they are a tourist attraction, what other purpose do they serve? Why do people celebrate the history of serfdom in this country?

They are not part of the reason this country is in the state that it is, are they not? Sitting in their ivory towers whilst the peasants squabble among each other?

Unlike oter heads of states they bring the country money not take money out. They get preparred their whole life for this role. They get a perfect upbringing, they are symbols of national unity. They are unbribable and can protect their people from corruptous politicians just by the power of their word. The british royal family is a shining example of service and charity

I don't see them protecting us from getting culturally enriched, krautbro?
>>71719927
U wot m8, do you know how much they get paid? Fucking hell they take a lot of the taxpayers money.

Well Obama or Gauck neither. The problem is the royal family cannot speak against anything or they get shit on by the ungrateful british people. They even got shit for saying Scotland should stay in UK.
The solution to this is not less monarchy but more

Do you understand how math works? If they cost you 40 million a year but bring in 200 million from property etc in return YOU get money out of this. This isn't even taking in increased tourism etc. into account

I'm sure you like the idea of a German family lording over their Anglo underlings Hans.
The Royal Estates are a net contributor to the Treasury funds.
Let's not also forget all of the cool guns and bombs they sell on diplomatic trips.

How does that benefit the people?

Well it works in the UK, because we have a Prime Minister who has the most power (prerogative powers that are technically the Monarch's but are passed to the PM instead) who leads the majority party. Therefore, our Head of State (the Queen) who despite having no constitutional power, is greatly respected and acts more as a ambassador-esque figure for the country.
America however, couldn't have such a system because their Head of State holds the most power in the country and can pass executive orders. Therefore, if it was a monarchy it would be a matter of time before an undesirable figure became ruler and started shit.
My only hope is that before the Queen dies, she fucks Canada's shit up.
>Is it a good idea to have literal retards run your country?
Yeah, no thanks buddy.
Because they rarely say anything controversial so no one can be arsed to change something that ai t broken. Also imagine if we have president camron or corbin,, it's enough to make your skin crawl

Democracy is essentially giving a green light to a divided nation. It's literally endorsing the splitting of a country into groups and wasting time fighting each other just so they each have their five minutes of fame. It means that the direction of the nation just U-turns back and forth instead of having a single vision that it moves towards. When people talk about the powers above using divide and conquer as tactic, they fail to notice that the original and most obvious example of this is democracy.

There is nothing worse than this democracies, monarchs didnt try to displace their own populations with 3rd worlders.

Piss off Turnbull. Your approval ratings are an hilarious representation of democracy.
