Now if you meant the house of Lords 
I never said we should get rid of them, stop making up your own arguments 
Yes we can keep him...... but stop paying

So you don't mind the fact that these people that WE vote for and WE employ and pay the wages of, can vote how much of a salary increase they can have each year AND also vote themselves inflation proof pensions just because we can vote for them in a general election each year.

Anyway after that comment about the house of Lords I think you are just coming across more and more as the sort who objects because you just see privilege and not the hard work that is provided by the royal family.At least with a succession there is no need for an election every 5 years.We have also got one of the longest serving monarchs which makes her very much worth the money..
But here you won't see that because you obviuosly think that they do absolutely nothing for the money..
Which is how I regard my MP incidentally who has been my MP for 30 years.He's useless but keeps getting re-elected because this is a Tory stronghold.Someone I have not voted for.
