United Nations have said the UK should consider if we are to retain the Royal Family. |

Next thing will be that they will all gang up and vote against the UK in the Eurovision song contest, or some other nonsense like that. |

The Royal family does attract tourists, it's nicer to have them than a President....anyone can have a President. Besides don't Presidents cost money too? I honestly couldn't bear a President AND a Prime Minister. I think Royalty do far less harm than a President. |

This is interesting, a similar thread a while back had a much more anti Royal response. Have we changed our views or seen through politicians to see what they are actually really like |

I think they probably will want a world wide President eventually so they want us to get rid of Royalty now. |

Why do we have a monarchy when she dont rule. Shes a tourist attraction. |

Tourst attraction = cash for the country |

The things is John, we'd probably end up with a President AND a Prime-minister. We'd have to put up with 2 of them! |
