- M_Grey 10y ago"Nice" is also highly situational... they're nice because they can literally afford to be.
- algesten 10y agoYes indeed. The swedish monarchy still doesn't need to account for how they spend their "appanage", i.e. tax payers' money. And they still get this money even though they are wealthy enough to not rely on state subsidies.
- Filligree 10y agoThe king has no powers, practically speaking. It's a monarchy in name only.
- hashmymustache 10y agoDoes the king work, rely on inherited wealth, or receive money through taxes?
- ben_w 10y agoIn what way is a monarch's taxes different from someone receiving rental income from inherited property?
- lervag 10y agoYes, it's a monarchy, but the king has no real power. Thus this is not a good argument as to why Norway is not a proper democracy.
