  No losing of any argument. I have yet to see an argument to successfully counter the points I have made about the massive benefit the Royal Familiy bring to Britain.
  
  Unless some of you republicans can do that then your arguments can simply be described as superfiscal.
  
  Who else in the UK can gain a worldwide audience of 2bn for a national event. In fact who else in the world can do that for their marraige? That kind of publicity cannot be bought. Of course it does not stop at a marraige, there is the jubillee to come that will also have the same effect. Not to mention many other national events exclusive to having our Royal family. The Prince William and Kate themselves are destined to be royal superstars attracting mssive attention wherever they go.
  
  Do not suggest that this does not matter, it does. It will give a massive economic boost to this country and not just to our tourism industry either. It will help us in international diplomatic relations. No other country in the world can attract that kind of attention and have such a powerful diplomatic weapon to use.
  
  Republicans will throw all of that away and for what? Nothing. It is just an extension of some miss-placed dislike of having a royal family. You simply do not have any argument of substance or if you have you are strangely shy of deploying it...
  
  Howard - many people who vote Labour are a royalist as I am, but ideological socialists in the Labour party certainly are not. This is not a party political issue though and I have never suggested it is.
