The Monarchy is NOT Good for Tourism

Keeping the monarchy because of tourism is just daft. The royals do not contribute to Britain's £127bn tourism industry and getting rid of the monarchy will not cause tourism income or visitor numbers to fall.

Tourism in France is MUCH bigger than tourism in the UK... despite them removing their monarchy... 🤔
that was Great 👍👍👍
Consider:
- France is a much bigger geographical space and much lower population density, hence it can physically accommodate more tourists.
- it’s got a friendlier climate, meaning that more people will come for more months of the year.
- having the euro, more countries can visit France without exchanging currency.
- lastly, post-Brexit, it’s much easier for EU members to visit France than England.
If you don’t buy the tourism argument for our monarchy then that’s one thing, but the France comparison is clearly bollocks mate.
@@elliott4106 Absolute rubbish.
@@Aarontlondon I mean, I’ve listed four literally provable facts there - but if you wanna call them ‘rubbish’ then sure, go ahead!🤷🏻♂️
Mediterranean is nicer than Devon though 😁
It’s not so much about people coming to visit BECAUSE of the monarch in-and-of-itself, more about a wider cultural identity. It’s quintessential British-ness, in a foreigner’s eyes. Ask the average foreigner to sum up British-ness, I’d predict monarchy to be in the top five things people would name, along with tea, scones, fish and chips, etc.
Bollocks. That's not an argument for keeping a non democratic family in place that stand for and enable corruption, capitalism, racism and the class system.
@@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter who said I was arguing anything? I never said this perception was rational or accurate - but it’s there, nonetheless. Stereotype culture and tradition in Britain = monarchy: like it or not. I never said “we should hold onto them because of this”, just merely pointed out that people who dismiss tourists visiting for the monarchy are missing a much wider point about the broader culture, and lure of quintessential “British-ness”.
@@elliott4106 ...and if the tourists aren't there during some big "royal" family event, what exactly does the monarchy do for them? Allow them to stare through iron bars at one of their many opulent palaces?
When I was 11 I visited London. The royal family did not figure very much to me, a list of the things that caught my attention
Red busses
Red telephone booth
Black Taxis
Red letterbox
The London underground
The soldiers at Buck Palace.
Mind the gap.
Newspaper sellers.
Morris dancers
Would you sooner have a royal family with zero powers or a president with vast powers and probably cost more than the royal family?
"Zero powers"? What family are you talking about?
@@conspiracytheorista8988
What laws can they pass?
@@conspiracytheorista8988
You can’t debate one side without debating what will replace them ie the cost, race and powers they’ll have. Like you just have
@@conspiracytheorista8988
Powerless then?👌🏻
I would sooner have a proper democracry where WE chose who did what

I wonder if you compared what the Irish get for the St Patrick's day to the Royal family 365 days.
Bearing in mind that we do not have to feed,cloth and pamper St.Pat.
Expensive and outdated 'tourist attraction' in the 21st century.
Hoarding art in Buckingham Palace is criminal
