sort of, almost

the UK monarch has a bit more power/freedom, like the current king has pushed for people to eat more lamb and stuff which is.. a bit strange for a figurehead to do. Like it'd be less weird if he'd pushed for better healthcare or something..

I don't think the UK monarch is bad as it stands, but i think the position could do with a bit more neutering.

Anyways the actual political system in the UK is a way bigger issue, it's a god damn clown show on every level and it's a minor miracle that people managed to vote for a PM that seems vaguely reasonable.

i have no strong feelings one way or the other, i just don't think the figurehead of a nation should be shilling a specific kind of product.

they should be utterly boring and inoffensive, their job is to be boring and inoffensive and refrain from uttering anything vaguely political or controversial.

Sucks that lamb is political.
