Republics are an abomination, a stain on mankind's history, and if I had my way, France would be called Bourbon, and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's Royal Standard would be the only flag on British soil.
So I suppose we'll all just hope I never had it my way.
Long live the King.

The monarchical structure allows little room for constructive criticism. A king may have advisors, but it's totally up to what kind of King you're dealing with. Unfortunately, most monarchs have proven less than cordial, both with their subjects and with other countries. Revolutions happen rightfully so.
I'm desperate to find a benevolent monarch, one who actually made the system work.
Catherine the Great of Russia.
Also I'll think you find if you study the more famous revolutions closely enough you'll find very few of them are justifiably even given whatever level of horror the previous regime implied. For example, we have the view of the French Monarchy being horrifically uncaring and oppressive prior tot he French revolution yes? Then why was it being decried by all of its neighbours for being liberal?

Why should I pay taxes for people to be better than the rest?
British tax payers (primarily the working class) pay to feed and clothe those worthless leeches on society that serve no purpose at all.

That's not why you'd pay taxes. The post you responded to actually explained - it costs pennies per person to maintain the monarchy, and brings in millions in tourism. That sounds like 'serving a purpose'.
