Are you for or against the monarchy?

They have no real relevance or interest to me. The Queen has no real excutive power and is just a figure head. For as long as they continue to generate more money than they cost, then I am happy for them to stay.

What I woudl like to see is a Royal family of approx 10 people, not all the hundreds living in castles and having titles because 500 years ago their dog was related to James I's

Those lot have gotta go

I don't buy into the argument that the Royal family brings in more money than it costs. The Queen doesn't meet tourists. People will enjoy the fantastic buildings with or without a monarchy in place.

I think the Queen does her job tremendously well, but once she passes I really believe it is time to dismantle the Royal family.

Even hardened Royalists will be cringing at the thought of King Charles.

I am neither heretic nor rebel, just a man that wants a system of reason.

You might be right, but is there evidence of this in other former Monarch countries? I think the fact the Royal Family are current and still frequent/live in certain buildings is a big part of the tourism. If it was just dwellings where Royals used to live them it would be no different to other countries with former Monarchies.
