I think the Royal family are a good thing. I think they make more money for Britain out of tourism and being ambassadors than we pay them. They have very few powers left, which is how it should be as they are unelected, but the Queen technically has the power to dissolve Parliament when the country is in a dire situation and we need that safety net just in case the government does something that endangers the country. Parliament is no longer a check on the PM's power and the Cabinet isn't either.
If future monarchs become any more involved in politics than the Queen is it should certainly be suspended.
