The argument "would you rather be ruled by boris johnson" falls flat when you remember that we were ruled by boris johnson, so having or not having a monarch wouldnt change that.

There was once a government employee under the monarchy who fainted to the ground when reprimanded by the king in the conference room for his unsatisfactory work. The funniest thing was when the king was also surprised and immediately ordered the others to help him. Imagine what would happen if the king yelled at him.

He means "stable" in the sense that they have produced our heads of state in a reasonably predictable manner (with a few upsets such as the barring of Catholics and an abdication) for hundreds of years. If we retain the royal family, then we can already be reasonably sure of who our next two heads of state will be, which might well take us up to the year 2100. That's what I call stability.

They keep trying to argue “would you prefer Boris Johnson”. Yes… absolutely… because we can vote Boris Johnson out. That’s the whole point. If Boris Johnson was instead a member of the royal family we’d be stuck with him for life. Bad leaders is an argument AGAINST monarchy not for it.

@@th3be4st61 ​ They ruled for centuries. Their power has diminished gradually since the Civil War, but they still have a massive amount of influence, they don't pay taxes, and their lives are wholly funded by British taxes and the income from their hereditary untaxed estates. Think of it like this, if you remove the layers of religion and pageantry, the British monarchy essentially owns the entire country and a financial stake in every business made on British soil. They also make money from every transaction, investment, death, etc. That's how taxes worked in the past - all the money went to the King and his family to allow them to live lives of luxury, while the government keeps things running on their behalf. Over the years, the government has become increasingly democratic, and this has pressured the Royal Family to allow more and more taxes to go back to the people in the form of public services - which they accepted in order to prevent themselves from getting Robespierred, along with gradually selling off more of their land to private and public ownership, or granting it to lower nobles. They don't technically "rule" any more, as they lost the right to direct governance in the Civil War, but "reigning" is only partially better for the rest of us. It means our lives are no longer decreed by the whims of an unelected ruler, but they still have all of the money, privilege, and soft power that they always had. The monarchs no longer have personal control over the Crown Estate and its possessions, but they still get to enjoy all of its benefits and luxuries. We're essentially paying for a small bunch of very posh people to stay in a variety of luxury locations at no personal charge while having the ear of the Prime Minister and all of the most powerful, influential, and popular people in the country, and in return they wear silly hats and tell us God thinks we're amazing.

Even if I agreed with Piers or any Monarchist, not presenting solid benefits and costs to the Royals makes it really hard for anyone forming their own opinions based on your argument to have their own analysis.

Imagine if you had a Boris Johnson type king instead for all of that time.
