    That doesn’t mean we want one

    A strong Parliament/Congress and judicial system is what keeps any executive in check. We’ve just got the worst of both worlds.

      The role of a monarch in modern countries is to be a ruler in name only, that way there is no place for another wannabe ruler. There can be only 1.

        You make it sound as if that was the point from the jump, rather than them being a vestigial organ you refuse to get rid of.

          It was historically what they agreed to. That is their purpose in modern times. Not hard to understand.

            That is the purpose they adopted to continue to live at taxpayer expense.

            Also not that hard to understand, yall Europeans can be backwards af about this.

              I’m not European. You’ll understand fast enough why many countries do this when the US gets a wannabe king, because the position isn’t taken 😂

                Lmao okay so you’re implying that any State without a monarch is susceptible to someone claiming a nonexistent crown? Like its some sort of natural law like entropy?

                No fam we’ll just kill him
