Apart from dyed in the wool Brit Royal apologists aside, I have never ever met a single person who has ever said this. In fact most say the opposite; that it's an outdated, arcane and undemocratic system.

Well lets put it to the vote then.
I would be surprised if anti-monarchists got more than 30% of the vote.

This is just not true. People are fascinated in them in a gossipy, hello magazine way and that's about it. And that's the people who are interested in gossip. The others, could not care less.

Australia had a vote and elected to keep HM as head of state.
Just like Liz
But without the 43 million.

I said that about the Leave vote!
Joking aside, I wouldn't want a referendum on it...

I thought you said they were the envy of the world? In my experience they most certainly aren't. Just a posh soap opera for people who like that kind of thing.
Because serving on the front line in Afghanistan isn't doing a proper days work is it ?

10 years part time.
I've known people who have served for triple that. But earned a fraction of what he has.

His earnings would be exactly the same as any other officer. He isn't part of the Sovereign Grant, either.

he benefits from it. (net worth of £40million)
anyway, prince ginger is a bit of an exception as he has publicly stated that 'no royal wants to be king'.
Good for him, I assume his next step will be to walk away from the royal family and stop claiming the rewards for winning the biological lottery.
Total bollocks.
That is only because they can't agree on what a new constitution should be. The vast majority of Australians are anti-monarchy.

isnt that a good reason to keep the current system? no one can agree what to replace it with, majority content with the current constitutional monarchy, so leave it as it is.
Absolutely, and that is what has happened.
But that isn't the same thing as "voting for" the monarchy.
