Monarchy. It's the 21st Century and y'all still pay people to live a lavish lifestyle because they are distantly related to some warlord from the 9th century

Then again, the people in all countries pay for the lifestyle of the politicians... in addition to the bribes they get for deciding in favor of whichever corporate and/or rich person needs a specific law passed or vetoed.

At least the monarchs do what you pay them for .... entertain you.

Your right.

I don't want my tax dollars paying for politicans either.

I would be fine with it, if they were not allowed any other incomes during the time they get payed by the people.

Oh and of course they should be forced to do their jobs. If they don't fully attend sessions, cut their pay.
