Power split by Cantons and two levels of referendums every other week?

Switzerland is a funny place, French German and Italian, not really it's own nation as such.

Really! You would have to be blind and deaf if you haven't seen the the thousands of people who gather to see the pomp & ceremony when the Royals attend a celebration in London. Foreigners come to see where the royals live... do you really think Buckingham palace would get so many visitors if the royals did not exist?

There will always be people who object to the royals, but so many more people love having a monarch that is respected by people in this country & abroad.

I am happy to give my £1.14 a year because, despite some people's objections to them, I believe they have been worthwhile & hope they continue!

other than being Head of State you mean?
