    1) You are neither more or less free with or without a monarch alongside an elected body. In Germany, for example, we do not even vote for our President.
    2) Cost is irrelevant. We spend a fortune on our President here, whereas I believe our royals are both wealthy and self-sufficient.
    3) A monarch lends an important sense of tradition and dignity to a country.
    4) A monarch is an important symbol of the nation.
    5) A monarch is, at least in theory, non-partisan.
    6) A monarch can be an important safeguard of a constitution or democracy.
    7) A monarch is raised from birth for their job. A President has other training instead.
    8) A monarch is a perfect diplomatic representative.
