They would of course expect appropriate palaces and of course a holiday palace. A personal aircraft would be a necessity as even the presidents of the poorest African states have one. <br />On balance I suspect the cost would end up being far higher, and the thought of any of our politicians becoming president fills me with horror.<br />As has been said about democracy "It may not be the best system, but is the best until we find something better", I feel similar sentiments about our royalty.English Pensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271488641341955140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28919367.post-92060978006063509592012-06-11T21:51:58.518+00:002012-06-11T21:51:58.518+00:00For what's its worth, I suspect the Monarchy b...For what's its worth, I suspect the Monarchy brings way more money into the economy from tourism then the costs paid to keep them up.bamboo investmentshttp://www.greenworldbvi.com/alternative-investments-options/bamboo-forestry-timber/bamboo/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28919367.post-83297059185459507652012-06-11T13:45:38.134+00:002012-06-11T13:45:38.134+00:00Great!!!Great!!!kidshttp://tinascraft.com/en/homenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28919367.post-13875101525228054572012-06-09T20:21:34.705+00:002012-06-09T20:21:34.705+00:00Am thinking we pay quite a lot to foreign people w...Am thinking we pay quite a lot to foreign people who mean nothing to us personally!
