      Right, so time to get rid of the pointless institution. Why is this family receiving state money when there is no justification for them to be doing so? Bye bye, time to get a real job.

              Well as I said previously, the money is just the cherry on top. The actual basis for getting rid of the monarchy is that it’s an institution with no real legitimacy. Our figurehead is a charlatan.

                  We have to get rid of it because it’s entirely unjustifiable that a ‘royal’ family exists regardless of the actual power that they wield. We’ve long moved past the concept of divine right of kings, there is no ethical basis for this institution. Those are the grounds on which it must be got rid of. That they are powerless money sucks that do nothing for us is just the cherry on top.

                  This is the original goalpost. The money talk was a side track the entire time.
