Britain is in trouble

[kılıç_mehmet]

Yet it's powers are so limited they have almost as much influence on world events as any god - ie none at all. They have the Royal Assent over Government legislation but that is just about it.

For instance: do you happen to know the penalty under UK law for treason?

So? She's still there. As I said, she is purely a representational figure.
And from what I know the maximum penalty for high treason is life.

I agree, my word cuts no ice. By the same sword, neither does yours. The British monarchy is actually far less relevent to the lives of UK people than it is to foreign opinion.

As I said, it does not matter, that's the point of constiutional monarchy. The foundations of your state are in the monarchy, so to abolish the monarchy, you need to create a new state, with a new name, and new laws, new bureaucracy, and abolish all titles and relating forms of personage from your state.

You also need to form a new national identity that is unrelated to the crown, and perhaps allow the Scots and the Northern Irish(amongst whom the loyalists will probably oppose you) to form independent states. The Queen and monarchy is the foundation, the very basis of your country, and all its legitimacy. Abolish the crown, abolish everything.

Me? I wouldn't fire any shot whatsoever. You're the one promoting revolution and extermination.

Because monarchies are not removed in any other way. That's why.

As for whether I or anyone else is being hurt, is harm the only criterion for relinquishing any irrelevant and outdated institution? We pay more than £30,000,000 - that's thirty million pounds - annually to keep these people in the manner to which they have traditionally become accustomed; not to mention the queen's own personal wealth, an undisclosed sum but estimated by Forbes as being in excess of £260,000,000. How many schools and hospitals would that little lot buy, I wonder?

Constitutionally, she is entitled to that money as the sovereign of the country, the queen.
She is your Queen, your monarch. She is entitled to that money as it was her ancestors that have actually built this country, so I'd say that she has a hereditary right to it.
