UK is a monarchy. More so now than ever before. They all just chasing their peerages.

I think the whole of the 1800s would disagree with you.

I'm not sure you understand what the word "monarchy" means.

It means the Brits get to elect who will agree to do and say exactly what the King and his mafioso family tells them to do and say.

That's clearly bullshit.

When the House of Commons and the King disagree the Commons is supreme.

When that was last tested, in 1688, the reigning monarch was removed from power and replaced.

It was enshrined in the Bill of Rights 1689 and has not needed to be tested since.

		when the prime minister and the monarch agree that the PM takes all the credit for murdering lots of kids, the prime minister gets a knighthood. (tony blair) - chasing the peerages. When they disagree, they get a big dose of massive character assassination (Gordon Brown, Jeremy Corbin) Or just dead (David Kelly). Discussed in detail during the non public weekly meetings between the PM and head of state.
