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.

We don’t pay them though….

Thanks for proving my point mate!

It would cost us money to remove them while it costs us nothing for them to sit there.

That figure comes from a pro-monarchy group so is almost certainly the lowest estimate possible, by the way. They certainly cost us money.

Most of those costs would be there regardless of the moncarchy.

Still have to upkeep historical buildings, still need to accommodate nationals among other costs.

And we don’t know what the other option could cost, it may cost more since we don’t have established accommodations.

It’s not as simple as you seem to think, those costs wouldn’t just go away….
