8. “The Royal Family cost billions each year" Price of the royal family = 60 million dollars (35 million British pounds) The UK has a population of 62 million people, so financing the royal family per taxpayer literally cost less than 1 British Pound Sterling per person actually its 0.5 British Pound Sterling per person, so it is entirely manageable to maintain the royal family in Britain. Tourism generates well over 100 million dollars in the UK anyway so the economic footprint the Royal Family has on the UK is entirely manageable. The Royal family does contribute to the economy and does not leave a large economic footprint when it comes down to numbers. The Royal Family costs 35 million a year but Great Britain spends about 700 BILLION pounds a year.... to the royal family wastes only 0.005% of Britain money. Does that not seem reasonable? The monarchy doesn’t come cheap? But how much would a presidency cost instead? Perhaps 3.6 trillion. Because in a year government will waste 3.6 trillion dollars and the British
Ya, elected heads of state of countries can be so easily corrupted, Britain is 15th most corrupted government not monarchy government.
The truth is it’s just the lottery of birth and the Royal family just got the jackpot. The only reason people could dislike the royal family is because they're jealous that they didn't get as good a prize.
Being born isn't an accomplishment and in itself ads nothing to society.
4. Okay, let's do away with the Royal Family because they do nothing, just a symbol. And while we're at it let's do away with professional sport because how is watching some guys kick balls around on a field useful, right? Sorry, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, you're gone too, who are you benefiting playing those guitar solos? The Louvre would make a great office building, right? Let's not waste those big galleries by hanging paintings in there. Television? Waste of time and money. I could go on but I've said what I have to. The royal family represents exactly the same as all the things I mentioned. It gives people something to believe in, something to be proud of. And it's not England let alone Britain if we get rid of them. The royal family doesn’t inspire just the UK the royal family is recognized as royalty by many nations, Antigua, Barbuda, Australia, Canada, Belize, Granada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, etc all respect the royal family and see them as royalty. The Royal family not only serves a purpose to the UK, but to many parts of the entire world.
Actually it is good for you the better England the better for trade for everyone
"Of course not. It's stupid." Please elaborate because their is no facts there.
1. The Monarchy in the UK existed more than just to run an empire. The monarchy reminds British people of their roots and where they came from and inspires patriotism among British citizens whether they live in the UK today or in the British Empire in the past. Just because it is old doesn't mean it should be thrown away, should we get rid of the US national anthem because it is old? The Monarchy does serve a purpose, they are very important factors in international politics and international negotiations, they inspire patriotism among British people, and the monarchy is there to lead people through hard times. In "The King's Speech" for example the Monarchy was central into leading the British people into and through the darkness of WWII, without them British people would have been less inspired and hopeful while facing the Nazi's.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
