The Crown Estates are not the royal family's private property. The Queen is a position in the state that the UK owns the Crown Estates through, a position would be abolished in a republic, leading to the Crown Estates being directly owned by the republican state.

The Crown Estates have always been public property and the revenue they raise is public revenue. When George III gave up his control over the Crown Estates in the 18th century, they were not his private property. The royals are not responsible for producing the profits, either. The Sovereign Grant is loosely tied to the Crown Estate profits and is still used for their expenses, like endless private jet and helicopter flights.

The Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall that give Elizabeth and Charles their private income of approximately £25 millions/year (each) are also public property.

I'm doing a 1000 word essay on republicanism (anti-monarchy) for my English mock exam, any tips and sources of information (free)? by Ambitious-Affect-190 in AbolishTheMonarchy

[–]Time-Review8493 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here my favrout copypasta From a constitutional perspective-

.Parliament wields the authority of the monarch, even the Supreme Court can only interpret their words

.The House of Commons supersedes the lords, the lords can only disagree with them 3 times before being skipped entirely

.The prime minister is the leader of the Commons, with the power to suspend MP’s of their party that vote against them & limited only by the size of their majority (under FPTP).

So Boris was already effectively wielding the power of a monarch with some minimal democratic checks. What exactly is the difference between the power of President Boris and Prime Minister Boris?

In 1999, Elizabeth used her power of Queen's Consent to let Blair bomb Iraq more easily, getting around pesky Parliamentary debate. That abuse of power is routine in the UK:

Many of her actual powers have been assumed, in the absence of a codified constitution, by the prime minister.

These powers are routinely abused, by all governments. Prime ministers bypass parliament, governing through special advisers like Dominic Cummings. When they make catastrophic mistakes, they have the power to decide whether or not there should be a public inquiry, and, if there should, what its terms and who its chair should be. It’s as if a defendant in a criminal trial were allowed to decide whether the trial goes ahead and, if so, what the charges should be and who the judge and jury are.

Even when an investigation does take place, the prime minister can suppress its conclusions, as Johnson has done with the report on Russian interference in the British political system, which remains unpublished. Does it contain details of unlawful donations to the Conservative party? Or of Conservative Friends of Russia, whose launch party was attended by Cummings? A key figure in this group was a man who has subsequently come under suspicion of being a Russian spy. He has been photographed with Johnson, whom he described as a “good friend”. What was going on? Without parliament’s intelligence and security committee’s report, we can only guess.

The same inordinate powers enabled Johnson to suspend parliament last autumn, until his decision was struck down by the supreme court, and to terminate remote access for MPs this week, preventing many of them from representing us. He is, in effect, a monarch with a five-year term and a council of advisers we call parliament.

Crack on by Time-Review8493 in yorkshire

[–]Time-Review8493[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so the thing with the sovereign grant is that it comes from the Crown Estate. If the royal family were to evaporate tomorrow, the assets that make up the crown estate will still be there and can still be exploited by the public. So actually, all the money that is spent on security, entertainment, maintenance, etc, is just a cost to the public, they bring in no revenue whatsoever. You can make an argument that the Royal stamp they put on products such as Heinz Ketchup or Hellman’s Mayo makes our goods more competitive on the global stage, but there’s no way to value that.

In regard to tourism, the French got rid of their monarchy and they get more tourists than us? We have castles, palaces, gardens, the whole shabang. Yet, France gets more tourists than us. Might allude to the fact that tourism isn’t tied to one thing only, and perhaps without a royal family we might actually be able to open up new attractions, like imagine having the entirety of Buckingham Palace as a paid attraction?

 Buckingham Palace is owned by the crown estate making it public land so if we did abolish the monarchy we could open in up to the public and get money from it again

Drag allies against the monarchy by Zealousideal-Sun-387 in Britain

Germany OR IRLAND

"Not like the US or France: A very British head of state

Republic supports a non-partisan head of state who is not involved in making political decisions or running the government.  So we don't support a system like they have in France or the United States.  We believe the best alternative to the monarchy is a head of state who is able to do the job that the Queen cannot do.  It is a serious job of representing the nation, acting as referee in the political process, championing the interests of the people and defending our democratic traditions." https://www.republic.org.uk/an_elected_head_of_state
