Would you like to see a debate happen about the monarchy?Republic don't support the US model of president or France it supports something like they have in Ireland. The president Michael D Higgins who is not involved in running the government but there to represent the people and Ireland abroad. https://president.ie/en/the-president/michael-d-higginsViewDate:

Would you like to see a debate happen about the monarchy?Interesting comments from supporters Billboard Campaign "Any of our children should be able to aspire to be elected Head of Stat. Such a position should not be owned by a family descended from a bunch of what were essentially medieval gangsters and mafioso."ViewDate:

Would you like to see a debate happen about the monarchy?Don't know where you get that idea from I am from England lived here all my life born and bread in Cornwall I once compared the German president same as Irish president who are elected to serve the people to the monarchy where the queen can only ever do what the PM asks not for the interests of the people she has no role to play, she is pointless and powerless so monarchy gives.government hatoo much power with no checksViewDate:

Would you like to see a debate happen about the monarchy?" I might agree if there was proposed a complete change in the system of government with 2 elected houses and proportional representation". Yes that is what's proposed. From Republic UKViewDate:

Scrap the Sovereign Grant?How about Or like our Bundes President here in Germany. A very well respected figure head, whose sole purpose is to welcome foreign heads of state, represent Germany abroad and sign his/her name on bills which have passed both houses. The only difference between Michael D. Higgins and our president, Frank-Walther Steinmaier, is that MJH was elected by the electorate, whereas Steinmaier was nominated by and elected by our elected representatives in the Bundestag. The roles are the same though and both do an excellent job, IMO. The fact that they have limited terms of office is a good thing too. The Monarchie in the UK is a waste of space and money and is an anachronism in the 21st century.ViewDate:

Scrap the Sovereign Grant?From the archives it has made clear that the queen got her lawyer to change the law in the 70s so that her embarrassing wealth would be hid from public view The RF say the do not interfere in politics but it has been found that the queen has had a say to change over 1000 laws and thoses that affect her private interestsViewDate:

Scrap the Sovereign Grant?Not like the US or France: A very British head of state Republic supports a non-partisan head of state who is not involved in making political decisions or running the government. So we don't support a system like they have in France or the United States. We believe the best alternative to the monarchy is a head of state who is able to do the job that the Queen cannot do. It is a serious job of representing the nation, acting as referee in the political process, championing the interests of the people and defending our democratic traditions. He or she would just have an office and an official residence not like the queen and family who have 19 residences all with round the clock security costs of £105 million a year. Don't believe the Royals We can get a lot better for less. P Charles and the Duchy he uses that as he's own private fiefdom paying no corporation tax And tennents are not allowed to buy the land their house sits on Other landlords comply with the law.ViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?Replacing the monarchy with a democratic alternative - an elected head of state - will make a real difference to the country. It isn't the answer to every issue we face, but it will give us a better democracy and will solve some real problems. When Britain becomes a republic we will at last make sure that our nation's democratic values go right to the top. We will change the political culture and our relationship with those in power. Ordinary citizens will be able to take part in the process of choosing our head of state and even put themselves forward for the job. Becoming a republic will put a stop to the royals' routine abuses of public money and their daily interference in our country's politics. In a republic the Windsor family will be equal citizens too, with the same rights to take part in the political process as the rest of us, but no special access or privileged status. A move to a republic will give us the chance to re-balance power between government, parliament and the people. By getting rid of the Crown we can put limits on what our government can do without the support of parliament - and put limits on what parliament can do without the clear support of the people. A republic will give us an effective head of state, someone chosen by us to referee the political process and champion the interests of the British people. A democratic Britain will also give a huge boost to 'brand Britain'. Our nation's image abroad will be of the modern, confident and forward looking country we really are. As VisitBritain says in their guide to promoting Britain, we can avoid the cliché-ridden imagery of the past and promote our heritage as a living part of a dynamic, positive and modern nation.ViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?She pays tax voluntarily how much who knows. She does not pay hereditary tax. Charles does not pay capital gains tax or corporation tax on Duchy despite it being run like a business it being a billion pound conglomerate despite ministers saying he should. It's a private or public when it suits them. There are lots of intelligent hard working people in UK which to choose from rather then this uninspiring dullard hunting and shooting family. Public money spending RFViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?The Queen does have millions in off shore tax havens It was reported in mainstream media in The Independent The Times The Mirror ect. You can google take a look it is out there. Wanting a republic An accountable democratically elected Head of State accountable to the people is not repugnant.ViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?The Royals are corrupt using public office for private gain How can we say they are not. The queen has a say in over 1000 laws before they are passed including thoses that affect her private interests. She has millions in off shore tax haven. They cost £245 million a year over 100 million on security provided by the metropolitan police for their 19 residences Millions for their days out local council bare the costs of these. The literally spend public money day in day out week in week out on their own personal interests. Time for an accountable to the people Democratically Elected Head of State Republic Campaign are doing a petition sign to abolish the monarchy after queen goes. A properly discussion in parliament about time something like this was up for discussionViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?"The royals are an outdated concept...time for them to go. But it is disgusting the way the press has treated Meghan (I find out from Twitter!!) and typical that somehow things are always the 'new' woman's fault (just look at the silence about Andrew and the constant bullying of Meghan and her kid). Allegations of bullying from her suit the press's and the Royal's agenda. Good luck to them I say. I just wish all the other Royals would 'resign' as well."ViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?More than 1,000 laws have been vetted by the Queen or Prince Charles through a secretive procedure before they were approved by the UK’s elected members of parliament, the Guardian has established. The huge number of laws subject to royal vetting cover matters ranging from justice, social security, pensions, race relations and food policy through to obscure rules on car parking charges and hovercraft. Revealed: Queen lobbied for change in law to hide her private wealth Read more They included draft laws that affected the Queen’s personal property such as her private estates in Balmoral and Sandringham, and potentially anything deemed to affect her personally. The Guardian has compiled a database of at least 1,062 parliamentary bills that have been subjected to Queen’s consent, stretching from the beginning of Elizabeth II’s reign through to the present day. The database illustrates that the opaque procedure of Queen’s consent has been exercised far more extensively than was previously believed.ViewDate:

It has been proved that they don't bring in tourists Look at Visit Britain. They are no benefit to charities Giving Evidence in depth report on wether charities benefit from Royal patronage. No they don't visit 74% of charities only visit charities they have set up themselves and which are near to where they live. They cost £345 million a year, spending public money day in day out on their own private interests we can get better for less.ViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?That's where you are wrong The queen has involved herself in politic at least over 1000 times to change the law for for own interests. A scoop from the Royal Archives In fact she and Charlie have too much power and makes it easy for the government to do what it wants She can not do what the PM asks her.

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?The Royals are not hard working they hardly work at all. The Queen stopped a law in the 70s to hide her embarrassing wealth from view. She has intervened in over 1000 laws so monarchy has too much influence towards their own ends on our laws. They are out dated corrupt secretive above the law and exempted themselves from freedom of information that all other public bodies adhere too. Abolish the monarchy
