"So you do admit that it ain't ain't broke then"
.,,.
Can't quite make out where you are coming from here, Hen. I'm the one who said "if it [ie the royal system of govt] ain't broke don't fix it"; so you presumably must be the one who thinks it is... So you haven't answered my question, except to imply the opposite of what you had said before.

So here is the exchange again ---

What's all this about head of state? The royals are, in practice, not head of anything. Like it or not, all the executive power is in the hands of politicians. As for "ain't broke", do me a favour, will you. The next king is a disreputable philanderer, enjoying a royal wedding at our expense that, in view of his dishonest love life, was a complete farce. His betrayed wife was then treated disgracefully by the rest of the family. Charlie believes in remedies that would make the average witch-doctor look like a professor of medicine, and he enjoys intellectual chats with his plants. The Queen's husband is a racist, Prince Harry allows someone to take a picture of his naked 'arris whilst servicing a lovely young woman from behind and another dresses up at a party as a Nazi. Yet another consorts with the sort of shady characters that most of us here would avoid like the plague. One could go on. I mean, how broke do you actually want it?
