We need somebody to be our head of state
Elect that person, maybe?
That's how you get a fascist.
I guarantee you, if the UK had an elected head of state, it'll be President Nigel Farage.
Somebody who happened to be born in a ruling family? That's just stupid. "Monarchy" more like moronity
E: love to see bootlickers getting mad about being called out
How’s it going with a President
Better than having to fund the lifestyles of rapists like prince Andrew. I'm not American so I don't have to worry about having a rapist being our president, either...
Don’t count your chickens
Far better than deceiving the public and cheating and lying your way into power.
Sounds like you think I'm an American: in decent countries voting actually works, AND we don't have to prop up rapists like prince Andrew
I don't know of any elected head of state of a large country who isn't corrupt.
Also, Prince Andrew is not being "propped up". He's essentially been exiled from the family.
How long did he enjoy the free money from the monarchy, is he still getting it? It's not as if he has had to really work, ever
He's already been cut off. And prince andrew is nowhere near as bad as Donald Trump anyway
Yeah, he's "just" a rapist who still has a cushy life and faces no prison time
