oh yeah, democracy with actual, real kingdoms (10 of them or how many?) kings and constitutions that gives real rights to king. Const. that actually puts king above law and says "sacrosanct".
what democracy? Yeah some of them have it but not EU and all.
- sandermvanvliet 1y agoMost are constitutional monarchies in which the monarch is a head of state with no or very limited political power. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchies_in_Europe https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchies_in_Europe
- andrepd 1y agoThere's so many actual reasons to complain about lack of democracy at the EU level; constitutional monarchies are certainly not one of them.
- maxhille 1y agoGive me the name of any country - and I'll tell you why it is not really a democracy.
- bsoles 1y agoWhy the downvotes? A democratic country should not have kings and queens, regardless of whether they have real power or not. Why should a person be so special in a democracy just because they have the right ancestors?
