The British Queen.

[Conservative,]

Don't really care tbh.

She's just a figure head. We've had one for a thousand or so years so I don't see why getting rid of her would help, but it's not like she does much except help int. relations slightly...

The Royal Family do not cost us a lot of money. Technically they cost the tax payers £47m per year, the queens salary itself being £6-7m. God knows what she uses it for. Anyway they bring the country a lot of revenue from tourism and other occasions, such as the Royal Wedding which will take place on the 29th April. There are so many souvenirs being created and it is guaranteed to boost tourism during that time.

Lets face it, get rid of the Royal Family and then what does London really have?

Madame Tussaud ... big woop
A big wheel ... lol
Parliament ... I prefer the white house

Buckingham Palace ... BINGO.

Wow, why on earth is she paid that much money? I've been to London a few times and still have to visit the palace

im not really bothered tbh. But it does feel better having a queen imo

A vast majority goes on trips, keeping the palace gardens and the palaces themselves in order and of course security.

One good thing is we can chant at the Aussies saying "God save YOUR gracious Queen, long live YOUR glorious Queen, God save YOUR Queen" when we're beating them in the Ashes...like that ever happens x]

He said that 6-7m was her salary though? Usualy in a job you don't have to use your salary for things to do with your job. Or maybe he didn't mean to say salary.

It isn't her salary, it's for the civil list which is for royal staff and head of state duties. Her personal income comes from interest and the lands and estate she owns like the duchy of lancaster.

She's just a figurehead imo, I love that we have one, but she doesn't do anything really, so I'm completely indifferent.

I think you will find the Queen works harder than any of us with her constant engagements and duties. I am in favour of our monarchy.

[Banana Pancakes]

i'm indifferent about the monarchy, i guess it has both it's pros and cons.
our current Queen does work incredibly hard there's no doubt about that. but the people next in line for the throne? prince charles is frankly a buffoon and harry is just a party-goer.

William is before Harry isn't he? The Queen does a good job, but I think Charles will, with whatever power he has...make a mess. He's just, as you said, a buffoon. But then William is after him so that's okay.
