It will be replaced by a president nigel farage
That sounds like we have shit voters, rather than advocating for having a royal family.
There are plenty of countries without a royal family that aren't doing badly.
Yes. We do. That's why having a politically neutral head of state is necessary. We know that for our lifetimes, our head of state will be just a figurehead and not politically involved, and be a somewhat decent (albeit flawed) person. (unless Prince George somehow goes bad, but he has a good father)
Yet. The same could have been said about the USA 10 years ago. But they roll a die every four years. We have a head of state change every 10-70 years and we always know who the next one is going to be.
The only good and practical argument for a democratically elected head of state is just virtue signalling and on paper being against inherited power and pretending that nepotism doesn't exist.
And also, to be for democracy yet claim you have "shit voters" is a contradiction in itself. You disagree with the voters, but if you're in a democracy, it's kind of hard to argue that the voting base is being objectively "shit"
I'm trying to think of a time Switzerland has had any major problems with their president?
The issue here is that you are conflating different roles because you seem to only be able to talk about American politics which has been a shit show for 160 years.
And British politics hasn't been?
So you actually agree with me that monarchy has absolutely nothing to do with whatever you were referring to earlier and by dumping the silver spooned leechers doesn't mean adopting American politics.
Great, because you sounded really confused earlier.
Getting rid of the monarchy will lead to becoming like America. The head of state will be a power vacuum that Russia, America, China and any other wacko would be wanting to fill. Also, a president "leeches" as much (if not more) than our monarch.
