    The UK is pretty good. I like a constitutional monarchy. I think it’s good that the guy with all of the power is just some dude who changes every few decades and didn’t try and fight and scam his way to the top like in some presidential democracies .

    If you wanted to cancel an election here, you’d need the Lords to approve, and then the King.

      Yes, I think the knowledge that they will never get to be Top Dog – however many boots they lick – must act as quite a good psychological deterrent against wannabe aithoritarians like BoJo

        I don’t think the republicans (typically left leaning) realise that if we became a presidential democracy, the likes of Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage would be top contenders for Head of State. I’d prefer a environmentalist nepo-baby who just wants to do his best in a funny hat any day
