Europeons : why do those stupid Americans only have 2 political parties that are pretty much family dynasties
Summa y’all europeons: *still have a monarch who are funded with state dollars*
britain: *has had the same ruler for 64 years*
the queen actually has like no power. we have many political parties (liberal democrats, conservatives, labour to name a few) who run the country and decided all the policies, and we vote them in. i cant speak for the rest of europe tho
the post literally said nothing about the queen having any political power. it’s saying that the monarchs are still being funded with millions in that’s being taken directly from the mouths of the people within the country itself lol and the fact that this monarchy is literally a family dynasty also being able to command millions in capital with is the opposite of having “no power” so you really should rethink what you are even saying mawma.
from the article linked: “the royals are playing an active role in the democratic process and we need greater transparency in parliament so we can be fully appraised of whether these powers of influence and veto are really appropriate. At any stage this issue could come up and surprise us and we could find parliament is less powerful than we thought it was. […] There has been an implication that these prerogative powers are quaint and sweet but actually there is real influence and real power, albeit unaccountable.”
anyway can the US and the UK stop having slapfights over who’s worse, the rest of the world hates yous both about equally lmao
