You dun 'alf take tongue in cheek comments seriously dodgy.
I used to be anti monarchy and still am in theory but I realised that if we need a head of state to entertain dignitaries etc. sooner the q than some awful party political appointee and probably does not cost any more.
Although the current queen does the job very well, it is the principle of UNEARNED power/wealth/privilege that is not in any way related to the worth of the incumbent I don't like. If the next incumbent is a disaster they will still get all the huge tax breaks and other advantages that go with the position.
I can't see how anyone on the right who believes in advancement by one's own effort and merit can support the principle.
