I've never really understood how we can still have monarchies but I do believe Elizabeth was probably one the better ones that have sat on those thrones.

A few years ago I looked into how much power she had and I was shocked. I was also shocked by how much that monarchy owns.

You were shocked that most of the UK’s Democratic institutions exist at her pleasure?

Yes I was, but that was just a part of it. The "United Kingdom" is huge. It's hard for me to imagine, for example, how Australians are still owned and controlled by that Monarchy.

In practice it's not much different here since we still have the military draft but so far we can still fire a "President" via impeachment if they go crazy on us. The UK's "subjects" do not have that power, they are truly akin to chattel.

Just wait until there’s a King who thinks he can do better than parliament.
