    Does Norway not count as a constitiounal monarchy

    Now that I think some democracy's have president's very close to monarchs. Ireland's President can be appointed by the Dail if all sides of the House agree this has happened three times so far in the last thirty years. Also the Job of our president is broadly simmilar to a monarch no power but still head of state. Hmm time to sharpen up the pikes maybe

    There's this bar in Paris, what's it called,it has an original guillotine. Still in mint condition, fully functioning. Way cool.


    I shall never understand why adults don't want to have the right to elect their own government. Might as well re-install lesser nobility, so you don't need to have any aspirations of getting to govern at the local level either.
    Speaking of which, just re-instate feudalism outright. More bosses to kneel down to, for those with a mind for petty grovelling.

    Anyone who supports monarchism who are not a monarch, is pretty much foolish.

    I think it's interesting how the president of the US holds more political power within their system, than any one person holds within the political system of our constitutional monarchy. (AP, You may want to reassess which systems you consider more authoritarian )
