Actually, one of the reasons is you guys. Anytime we get a discussion about this, the nay sayers simply point to the US and mumble something 'bout "case closed".

As Dauphin said, they are net providers. The small amount they cost is far less than the tourism they bring in. And moreover, we don't pay for their upkeep, we pay for the upkeep of places like Buckingham Palace, which we'd have to do with or without them.

This way we don't need to elect a President, and thus give them power, and we gain from tourism. I see no reason to change that.

Prolly the least appreciated British ambassador is the Queen.

Over here, when the Queen visits, everyone goes out to see her. I've twice been where she has, yet found myself unable to see her from where I sat.

I've tried.

I've had two polymeets with Joncha, but NYE couldn't come to the first one, and Asher's now in Toronto.

It's a little far, say 4 thousand km from here to Toronto, so you Euros need to bear that in mind.

Hmm, maybe we Americans should make Bush II king, and move the seat of power to some other position.

Thats like saying drug dealers bring money into the country so it's good thing

They aren't parasites, if they make you money. How does the tourism they draw amount to any pain and suffering for England?

Drug dealers would be a different thing, if the drugs they supplied didn't harm people. Similarly, the royal family are a good thing until they start harming people.

On what basis are they bad?

So they're bad because people listen to them? They'd still be the same people as royals or not, except no-one would care about their opinions if they weren't.

We'll go over as tourists and then BAM, they're invaded. We'll break the queen out of the lock-up and put her back where she belongs, on our currency. If we think they'll put up a fight, we'll bring over the beaver.

While you're there, would you terribly mind the couple of extra miles to come and get ours too? Heck, maybe the Dutch will chip in if you take theirs also, I'm sure.
