    Because that would be stupid. It was time to get rid of the Monarchy over 100 years ago, everybody knows that.

    Do you honestly believe that "without the queen" you would lose all of your tourism? I had thought you British lot had more sense than that. Whose to say that they would take the Monarchy with them? Couldn't you have the Tower and the Palace without inhabitants? More like a Museum than some asinine support system for inbred wastes of space? I have an idea, take that 43 million and invest it all in upkeep

    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
