Should the British monarchy be abolished?

[Tyrants]

Because we know why the British don't want the royal family abolished:

This, so this.

I think the Monarchy should be abolished since it is unfair to other citizens that some bunch of people are living due to money of taxpayers. The royals dont have to go to work nor they dont have to wake up every morning. This is why the Royal family should be abolished.

I believe that the Monarch does actually have a function- in fact, it has a governmental function, which is why it is funded with our Tax payer money. They do, despite your claims, wake up in the morning, and they do, in fact, go about their work. The Royal family is a Symbol of the British people and our History, Culture, and Tradition, and are at the centre of the very essense of Britishness.

All man have to be equal. The bolded part is the reason why I like the British, they care about their tradition.

Rather have Harry then some plump-in-face, holier-than-thou President gawking at me from my banknotes.

disband the family? a lineage is a lineage. i don't see how logically that can be "abolished".

its authority as an arm of government, is of course optional.
tax subsidized ostentation is does seem rather pointless and unnecessary.
(and i seriously doubt anyone in a literal sense, actually enjoys it . i mean, i wouldn't mind having what it costs, to spend on trains and tools and things i could actually enjoy doing things with. but all that HAVING to look regal and impressive and all that crap, personally they have my sympathies. i don't see how anyone could stand it.)

No taxation without representation!

So you support the rebellion and independence of American Samoa, the US Virgin Islands and Washington D.C.?

[New Humanland]

And lose all that tourism money? Not a hope.

You realize that the country's finances are in the hands of the royals, they're already destroying your economy for their own interests. What kind of sick tourism is this one? This is even worse that child-prostitution tourism.

Yes, I support all peaceful separatist movements as a matter of principle.

Why not non-peaceful ones?

I am quite sure the royal family does not have that kind of power on national finance, or at least it has not been done for centuries. Besides, what is wrong with child-prostitution tourism anyway?

Actually, do not answer that. It would derail the thread.

Please tell me you're kidding.

Everything you've just said is wrong.

So, if all the Walmart shops decides to seperate peacefully from the Walmart Corporation, and form Worker's communes, you would still support them, would you?

OMG, I have to puke now. I've met strange people in here, but this is beyond any limit.

For CENTURIES they have enslaved the people and still do, they get paid millions of pounds every year while the ordinary folks die on the streets jobless and homeless...

The British Royal Family has been a symbol of strength and their Imperialism, The Symbol of the British Empire that onced covered 1/4 Of the earth's surface.

God save the Queen!
Long Live the Queen!

Imperialism is disgusting. Why would you want to hold on to a symbol of imperialism?

[Cvtopia]

Yes, I support all peaceful separatist movements as a matter of principle.

Why not non-peaceful ones?

I support some violent separatist movements, not all. It depends on whether I believe that violence is justified in their situation. But I support ALL nonviolent separatist movements, as a matter of principle.

Because the Monarchy is barely involved in Imperialism, our democratically elected ministers were the one who expanded and ran the Empire.

Therefore, Democracy is disgusting, why would we want to hold on to a symbol of Imperialism?

Read the articles yourself, and you would find that you are wrong. Also, as a Briton, I can tell you that we are not enslaved, and the reason why people die out in the street and jobless is because our Democratically elected leaders, and their business buddies, were the ones that cocked everything up.

Still a symbol of imperialism, genocide, and global oppression.

Just like Westminster, the White House, and, I don't know, every government building out there. Let's get rid of all, and hope that that somehow erases our history

[Romalae]

I voted yes, but it doesn't really matter to me in the end because they're just kind of like figureheads.

Hey, that's actually not that bad of an idea.

While we are at it, since all the people of America and Britain are supporting a government that is, or historically has, supported oppression, expliotation, and genocide, let's kill every single citizen.
