Erm, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace? I don't think red boxes are what people are coming to see.
Apparently last year Bangkok #1, London #2, Paris #3.
Tourism shouldn't be a reason for compromising on democracy though. There isn't good reason to think the lack of a state recognised monarch would affect tourism though. I'd favour an elected monarch with the largely ceremonial role perhaps every 20 years, and right now the Royal family would easily win, nothing would change except the anti democratic aspect of it.
I just think any child should be able to aspire to be head of state in the country they live, and we're of the countries where that isn't possible, but there are ways it can be achieved.
Well any child can be Prime Minister, theoretically.
That's the important position.
Well it will be if we get out from the clutches of the EU.
Head of state is technically higher ranking.
Prime minister certainly holds more power than the EU (since they can lead a government that can withdraw from Europe).
Head of state can technically fire the Prime Minister.
Don't you think your position is contradictory, you're desperate to leave Europe because you don't think it's democratic, but you're happy to retain an anti-democratic monarchy?
