    Yes,

    Why can't having a head of state who is elected by the people, regardless of their colour or religion or class, just be the right thing, morally and ethically.

    And you can deselect them at the ballot box, but I guess some people just feel it’s right that they can be a second class subject rather than an equal citizen

    If she sneaks into the country in the back of a lorry illegally probably yes.

    We can have what we like as long as enough people want it, Brexit being an example. I just asked people to explain the benefit of changing our system of government. If that makes me immoral in your eyes for challenging an idea, well I won't lose sleep over it.

    I'm so sorry you feel second class to anyone. Perhaps you may benefit from some self help books to deal with any inferiority complex.

    It is not a matter of how he feels. He is a second class citizen compared to royalty and anybody with a hereditary seat in the House of Lords.

    Not even a citizen - a subject. Getting rid of the monarchy should also get rid of the whole gamut of dukes, viscounts etc.
    No need for a House of Lords. If you need a second chamber vote in a bunch of senators. Job done.

    Yes, presidents everywhere get a big sense of entitlement and need their Air Force one and presidential bodyguards consisting of blokes in fancy dress, but at least parliament could control this. Hopefully.

    Do you know how much private (illegal) lobbying prince charlie has done and is still is doing? You happy that he has the 'power' to influence government like that?
    David Cameron’s last government attempted to veto the release. In 2012 the then attorney general, Dominic Grieve, warned they “would be seriously damaging to his role as future monarch because, if he forfeits his position of political neutrality as heir to the throne, he cannot easily recover it when he is king”.
    the government spent £400,000 to try and block the release. £400,000 that could have been spent on something on the side of a bus!

    And is that better or worse than Murdoch's minion the ginger witch turning up to "run the government"?

    Not true, unless you are now talking about replacing the monarch with a president will full executive powers.
    The German president for instance fulfils a role broadly similar to that of our queen.

    Aye, you could indeed have a president with a broadly constitutional role. Better to have a pres like the Germans than many of the other examples out there. But then you would need a proper written constitution - however would us poor Brits cope with one of them?

    If he's really indolent then he wouldn't actually be at the HoL. You know it's only 92 hereditary peers out of the 750.

    The crown estate is an independent organisation created by parliament. The Queen doesn't own it in any meaningful sense.
