Why is it an outdated concept? I’ve never heard anyone actually give a logical explanation?
From a cost point of view, will there be a reduction?
From an election point of view, why should a politician be elected (even for a fixed term) that crosses party lines and is partisan.
If you look at UK a lot of money is brought in through the very existence of the monarchy.
Many countries around the world have a monarchy but for some reason it is the British Royal Family that is always what the majority refer to.
There are lots of times where “soft diplomacy” is used by the monarchy against a political party that runs rampant.
