We're already a republic in all but name. The monarchy's a powerless figurehead.
What's the point in getting all cross about them? It's as stupid as taking the internet seriou...oh.

What we have is a civil list payment system, which sees a load of unelected idiots receive millions of pounds of taxpayers money each year.

Why is their being unelected an issue? They don't have any power over anything.
Also, they make more money than they spend. The equivalent argument is getting rid of a company's staff because they have to be paid.

Furthermore, they're really very good at staying where they are, so you can hardly call them idiots.

Your argument really isn't very well thought out. It depends more on the fact that you don't like them than any sort of logic.

They can technically orevent a Bill form passing into law.
But they never actually have, and probably never will.

They never will because if they tried to exercise it
Parliament would rescind that power and present the bill again. Everybody knows where everybody stands, except Battered and his gang of revolutionaries.
