In this episode, we dive deep into the cases for and against the monarchy—its cost, its power (or lack thereof), and whether it still has a place in a modern democracy. From historical injustices to taxpayer burdens and the argument for an elected head of state, we explore the strongest reasons why abolishing the monarchy might just make sense.
