The price of a President

Take a look at Britain. Replacing the monarchy doesn't reduce their cost. Unless you take the French solution.

Ask the 'Windsors' how they managed to go by WW1

Bureaucracy, security and routine maintenance of associated infrastructure (official residences etc.) for President of the Republic of Finland costs about €9,000,000 annually. This does not include president's salary nor certain other expenses. With today's exchange rate that is about $12,3 million.

I will return to this with more details in Saturday when I have time to dig into budget.

The Queen remains very popular not only in the UK but throughout the Commonwealth.

On Topic - the price of a president

The US is being reigned by 200 families, they basically decide by sponsoring who becomes president. I think ttus the price seems high for normal people, but riduclously low for those families, getting so much influence on politics..

Monarchies bring in tourists.
Nobody's flying in to see Borut Pahor, that's for sure

I should imagine tourism in London benefits the UK greatly.

The monarchy does certainly bring in the money, just as much as the landmarks.
