More Monarchy

A letter in today's Independent:

Sir,

I've never heard a Republican argue that elected leaders are any less fallible than members of the Royal Family, The simple point, which seems to elude the Rev Geoffrey Thompson (letters, 17th January) is that we can remove elected leaders when they screw up.

The most respectable argument I have heard for the Monarchy is it is irrelevant...
