TBH it is only in principle that I oppose monarchy. In realpolitik terms it usually works fine. Except that a whole family of the c*nts gets to be expensive, and sometimes the head of state (as in Lizzie's case) is a rather unsympathetic, frosty character.

well that's sort of where i started. but upon reflection, i expect that - when tourist revenues are taken into account - the queen is probably no more expensive than a president would be.
and frosty as she may be, queen liz at least has a form of decorum that prez tony would conspicously lack (and i think of far worse scenarios than that).
king chaz, may prove to be another kettle of fish entirely.
