Nah. Do not Abolished it. Waht would the world do without the irony of a royal dynasty founded by a king who had been a republican revolutionary, a conspiritor to regicied, and who had "Death to Tyrants" tattooed on his arse.

I kind of like the monarchy the way it is in Norway (and, I guess, Sweden and Denmark). It is nice to have a completely apolitical head of state.-bondetamp
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.

Oh, and we need a Swedish royal family to invite in Norwegian royal birthdays.

Yeah it's better to have king or queen as head of state rather than some politician who has elbowed his way to the top.

Kroppie, I didn't mean duties like opening parliamnet. I mean international duties. Funerals are the most important ones, I believe. If we didn't have the Knug, we'd have to send the prime minister. Whose time would you rather waste, the guy who can't read, or the leader of the country?
(well, minor details such as Goran Persson leadership qualitites aside.)
As to the advertizing value, I don't remember where I read it... I do know that swedish international companies LOVE the royal family. Their sales usually increase quite a bit when the royal family goes abroad and flaunt the swedish colors... Which is also why the royal familys trips are usually paid for by companies such as SKF (paid for the minnesota tour), Volvo (paid for the californian trip), Bofors etc.Gnu Ex Machina - the Gnu in the MachineComment
