    A constitutional monarchy can be more democratic than a republic. In Brazil, we had the monarchy from 1808 to 1889. The republic was imposed by a coup that overthrew our emperor D. Pedro II, our greatest emperor, respected and remembered until today. He was an example of Monarch, well prepared for his duties since childhood, honest and respected freedom of the press. This period of stability ended with the republic that brought us political instability, dictatorships and enormous corruption. So, if the Monarchy is a dream for us in Brazil today, the republic is a nightmare.

    The assertion that monarchies are cost-effective or cheaper than republics is false.

    Interesting to see, or should I say, not surprising to see Al Jazeera focusing only on the finances to keep a European Monarch, instead of any of the well known Middle Eastern Monarch. ;-)

    Far across the seas in the land of the windmills. The little Dutch girl with the spotting shoes. Many grew up with the 'Dutch Baby' milk. Today, in Indonesia(Pulau Seribu) many Dutch could speak Bahasa Indonesia with the influence of Dutch music, Bengawan Solo. The economist for Singapore is a Dutch, too. Hence, Philips Electronic Factory exists in Singapore till today. Always remember a monarchy is important as a 'political stabiliser'. This is what happened in Thailand, when two political opponents practically fight and quarrel everyday. They were summoned to the Royal Court for counselling. They crawled to the feet of King Bumibol. No scoldings but just a simple royal question, "Does Thailand belong to only both of you?" This a lesson for everyone!

    Lot's of people are against Monarchies he says.
    That explains why a lot of former Monarchies want to introduce the crown back in to their Nation two of which are some of the largest powers in the world.
    In Russia Valdimir Putin has said he would like to reintroduce the Tsarist Romaniv line for Cultural purposes, and in Germany the people also would like to see their Monarchy restored Cultural purposes, infact in germany the Dutch King is extremely popular because the Dutch crown is largely German as well, the prior two Husbands of the Queens were both Germans. And the Origional line of the Dutch crown comes from Nassau and old German Royal line.
    I would say the concept of Monarchy is extremely popular in former Monarchies and I don't see much people wanting to abolish the Monarchy in todays Constitutional and Parliamentary Monarchies, infact a lot have an approval rating of 60%+ In some cases even 70 to 90%.

    How do you feel about the UK's voiced desire to arm the "rebel" groups in Syria? That's one I've wondered how the people think recently. In general, in Canada, we are for staying about as far away from Syria as possible. We are certainly not Assad fans but we don't care for the foreign jihadist groups either. I wouldn't want to be responsible for putting a gun or a bullet in any hands on either side of that.

    The English crown is definitely not as popular with its subject's then the Dutch crown is with its people!When the Dutch King go's anywhere His Majesty takes a lot of businesses and business man/woman and consultants with him,so does Her Majesty the Queen!No door stays locked for them and therefore it's open to there antourage too,comprising of the fore-mentioned of course.The Dutch Crown makes more money then we as a State/Kingdom put in and they are visible at many occasions and very informal at those occasions,getting close to the people,this can definitely not be said about the English Crown or the British Royal House it's all very brief and mostly done from a distance preferably a balcony,not to mention the English Crown cost more then it generates,throw into that situation the fact that it's an unpopular Royal House with way to many scandals:Lady Di,Queen shown to be indifferent after Lady Di death,Prince Harry in a Nazi uniform at a dress party,Prince Andrew getting divorced,Prince Charles getting Divorced,Prince Charles cheating on his wife,Ex wife of Prince Andrew asking for backhanders from journalist,Prince Andrew involved with criminals,Prince Andrew possibly involved in rape of multiple teen girls,etc,etc!If they want to safe there Royal House better bypass Prince Charles as King and go straight for his son William(I think that's were the English Queen's preference lay as well)especially because the now wife of Prince Charles,Kamilla had an ancestor who was a mistress of an English King as well,there you go another scandal,they can't seem to help themselves!But I don't know how that Kingdom will look like in 20 years from now,seeing the Scottish want to leave and by then probably will,...how long before the Welsh do the same and Ireland is already gone!Well all i can say as a Dutchman is:Long Live His Mayesty King Willem-Alexander van Oranje-Nassau,Long Live The House of Oranje-Nassau!
