Even if we were to dispose of the monarchy they would take their private wealth with them, only if an armed rebellion could we up root them from their vast wealth and the army swear allegiance to the King.I just think they are redundant like horse tram drivers or lamp lighters.
The King/Queen used to run the country. They did what the PM does now.
Now they are just a fifth wheel on a bus. At most, the equivalent at national level of a ceremonial mayor.
But ceremonial mayors don't get millions a year and the job is not hereditary in one family. Imagine how we'd laugh if the Lord Mayor of Manchester was always the senior member of some random family off Ryder Brow Estate. That would be every bit as rational.
I’d get rid of the mayors though it is an extra tier of government just extra expense
