Should we abolish the monarchy? - a podcast by Ant and Jake

In this episode, Jake and Ant look at the ethics of abolishing the monarchic institutions that are present in the UK and several other EU countries (but really focusing on the UK as a specific example).
The key arguments discussed and considered are:1 - democracy, 2 - elitism, 3 - corruption/abuse of power, 4 - history&tradition, 5 - entertainment, 6 - soft power, 7 - the practical nuisance of disbanding the royals.
Ant is writing this and I maintain that it's a grossly inequitable institution that doesn't much contribute cash beyond what would be achieved regardless of their maintenance (not that money would even be a good justification anyway)...but hey, listen to the whole pod and form your own opinion!
