Modern monarchies don't even run their kingdoms anymore and all the power is in their parliamentary systems. What's even the point?
I'd rather have a statue honoring the kings of old, that costs maybe a few hundred grand to put up and a hundred bucks a year to spray down from bird shit, than corrupt as fuck leeches that live in the lap of luxury on the backs of actually productive people.
The love in this community specifically, GGers who are into meritocracy not literally whos, for a people who are known for nothing other than who their parents were is genuinely confusing to me.

I'm not a monarchist, but I thought Elizabeth was the best head of state we were ever likely to get. Certainly the referendum we were offered where the alternative was that our politicians choose their own watchmen would have been far worse when Elizabeth's greatest failing was not keeping them in check.
