I mean... Even the br*t*sh monarchy would probably lose its power pretty quick if it actually tried to use it tbh
I don't think that one in particular is true. I remember reading something about the queen having some power to influence legislation. That one was actually super fucked
Yes, the British monarchy signs off on legislation and refusing to do so knocks the legislation back to the legislature, but if they started refusing to sign off on things for reasons the bourgeoisie disagreed with, that would be the beginning of the end for them, is my point.
Ahh, I misunderstood you. They have a pro-bourgeoisie influence on legislation which I called influence, but you mean that they couldn't disagree with the bourgeoisie and get away with it. That totally tracks for me
Yup! The British monarchy are currently 1,000,000% aligned with the bourgeoisie, so they enjoy unparalleled power and privilege... As long as they do nothing cool. If they did? Oh goodness. Goodbye Charlie. (uncool)
