Let’s face it, if we had a president we’d still waste a tonne of money on pomp and circumstance.
The problem runs much deeper and focusing on the royal family distracts from that. We have a prime minister who’s net worth is around three quarters of a billion pounds! We have a leader of the opposition who’s net worth is equivalent to that of a decent lottery win.
It’s no wonder that people feel politicians are out of touch and it’s not worth engaging in democracy.
