    Then again, the people in all countries pay for the lifestyle of the politicians… in addition to the bribes they get for deciding in favor of whichever corporate and/or rich person needs a specific law passed or vetoed.

    At least the monarchs do what you pay them for … entertain you.

        Politicians don’t do shit in America. Corporations govern the country and you can’t vote them out.

      The King in the UK was caught with briefcases full of money declared as a ‘donation’. He has also interfered in our politics including encouraging the government to buy ineffective homeopathic ‘medicines’. They have also stopped the conviction of serious sex crimes royals have committed. Because the police get the power granted by royalty and can’t persecute them.

        I would be fine with it, if they were not allowed any other incomes during the time they get payed by the people.

        Oh and of course they should be forced to do their jobs. If they don’t fully attend sessions, cut their pay.
