No, I disagree. They are not the same at all. America is your country, Austrailia is a country, England is a country.

Just because your states have counties, doesn't mean your state is comparable to our country.

Comparing size or population has nothing to do with it.

Secondly, I fail to see anywhere in this topic where I have made any demeaning remark about the US election policys. I merely asked how it worked.

And true, the American doesn't have a Monarchy. And true, they pretty much do nothing here in England. But sucking up the taxpayers money?

Lol, money is the only reason we still have the monarchy. That and tradition. The monarchy is one of the biggest money earners our country has....do you know how many tourists visit Buckingham Palace each year? Or london in general.

The monarchy earns the country a fortune, it does not cost it. Even though yes, we spend far too much money on their stuff, they still turn a HUGE profit.
