    sort of, almost

    the UK monarch has a bit more power/freedom, like the current king has pushed for people to eat more lamb and stuff which is… a bit strange for a figurehead to do. Like it’d be less weird if he’d pushed for better healthcare or something…

    I don’t think the UK monarch is bad as it stands, but i think the position could do with a bit more neutering.

    Anyways the actual political system in the UK is a way bigger issue, it’s a god damn clown show on every level and it’s a minor miracle that people managed to vote for a PM that seems vaguely reasonable.

        i have no strong feelings one way or the other, i just don’t think the figurehead of a nation should be shilling a specific kind of product.

        they should be utterly boring and inoffensive, their job is to be boring and inoffensive and refrain from uttering anything vaguely political or controversial.
