Topic | Should Sweden abolish the monarchy? |

If the monarchy is functional and not undermining the right of its people to be free and independent otherwise, I think its not a problem.Out of curiosity, how do you feel about members of a Royal family who dont have representative duties getting what is essentially a huge welfare check paid for by tax payers? While regular citizens need to fullfill many duties to get a MUCH smaller welfare payment if they fall on hard times? The King removed his two youngest children and their spouses and kids from the Royal Household last year (which cancelled their money flow) but it was done since Riksdagen would have done it otherwise. But should they pay back the decades of free money retroactively? Im not necessarily thinking they should but I wonder what others feel. --- "BalanceLost has a steam-powered PS2 because Sweden don't have electric" - dimeanatrix ... Copied to Clipboard! |
