Well I've got lots of pictures for tax so...
Even those middle of the road voters who accept that a monarchy is an anachronism will probably say they do good works, attract tourists and give the UK something special. All of this is true, but what else are you going to do when you have that much money and power. You're not going to go to work are you?
For an unemployed family they seem to have an awful lot of money and own an awful lot of land.
If only. Bear in mind that the Scots haven't fared well under English rule. It's that combination of church and state that I have most difficulty with. The monarchy are there by divine right apparently. People seem to forget the murders, the robbing, the treachery, the nepotism and finally, although there is lots more inbetween you can't vote them out. It's a war and like in every war, there is no animosity towards the person wearing the uniform; it's just that they wear that uniform. As Queen and consort Betty and Phill were better than many if history is to be belived. Charles; he might make a good butler.
Maybe not UK citizens because the Scottish and The Welsh Nationalists are not the greatest of fans. Left to the English I'm afraid to say that they would probably vote to keep them, maybe with reduced relative dependance and title.
