I'm getting worried as once again I agree with roly. The existence of the royal family gives an imprimatur to privilege and supports the whole rotten edifice of privilege. Oh and many of them supported the Nazis too. The tourism thing is a red herring and is basically bullsh*t. The argument that an elected president might be worse is a non-starter as its logical conclusion is to do away with democracy altogether.
