They live in palaces, don't work and yet receive millions of pounds a year all tax-free.

In 2025 is it time we just abolished the royal family?

I dont think the country is ready Nobs,

Personally I think they are a waste of space but I am ambivalent. I don’t feel “ subject “ to anyone but would rather get on with my life than “ protest “ about the biggest criminal gang in the country.

would be far better for UK to get rid of or change the house of lords into a democratic institution.
Get rid of hereditary peers still lording it up and making UK laws as their silver spoon birth right.
Then we could have a written constitution.

I cannot believe we still have hereditary peers

Doff cap and tug forelock

Oh the poor farmers and inheritance tax!

I can't believe we have anyone unelected in our 2nd chamber but not a single one of them is elected!!!!

No wonder the country is a sh!tshow

Tough one because our democratic system currently selects for mouthy salespeople who have no clue and overlooks people with skills and experience of running things who dont want to be involved in a dirty cutthroat election campaign.

An unelected house of tribal elders could be useful but its just too corrupt as it is now

Monarchy and house of Lords have zero power.

They'll be gawn in 100 years.

Probably miss em.

Hardly inconceivable that in 100 years we will be ruled by a house of clerics.
Non converts will probably be off, if there is anywhere to go.

What do you mean by abolishing them?

No longer have the King/Queens as head of state or just lopping all their heads off?
