          Lovely thank you.

          That is horrific to read though, I appreciate the correction. I knew there was some form of consent granted in a “you’ve already decided this, I’m consenting for show only” kind of way but this is exactly the kind of abuse that a constitutional monarchy is supposed to avoid.

            ultimately a big problem with constitutional monarchy of any kind is it’s still monarchy. it’s hard to square the democratic values, fairness, or equality that is associated with liberal democracy with having a totally unelected institution whose claim to that position is derived almost invariably from religious legitimacy and being the “right” family. (and conversely, it’s very easy for a monarchy to undermine democratic processes and take more power for itself than it ought to have)
