Awesome point, but did most of the world get rid of Monarchies?

I would say no, & The USA is moving backwards into Feudalism/Monarchy. Not us, but our ancestors were simply manipulated into accepting Capitalism, where The Monarchs not killed, like in France, were made monopoly industry leaders or welfare families, like in The EU, some are both in EU. Some EU Royal Families actually still can decide laws! Of course, in far, far & far too many middle eastern countries they never got rid of Monarchy Royal Families.

They were just waiting their time to come again, & it is starting to move backwards to their time.

Our ancestors did a great job of revolutionary war, but terrible at only accepting what was needed for their future governance!

  Before a bill is made act of law in the UK it must get royal assent.

    Technically speaking the UK is not in the EU. And while technically (I think, it’s not really clear) the royal assent can be denied in practice the last time a bill was refused was over 300 years ago. The royal assent is effectively a formality.

    And Im still not over that, many use EU and Europe interchangeably though.

  Obviously, I do not need to. See getting Independent, political Left media education works, just extremely hard to find in a Capitalist- moving to Feudalistic Wotld!

  Norway, Sweden, Denmark and UK are just the first that come to mind. Probably most of the rest as well.
  
  Today it is more a traditional technicality, but the monarch most often still “has the final say” before anything are put into law.

    Which then is technically correct, but has never been done. Also, the King in Denmark for example has no veto right.
    
    It’s the ministers who decide.
    
    So making the argument in a post about dictatorship and control from monarchs is pretty weak.

    I was answering to a comment, not the main post.
    
    And while most European monarchs have “final approval” for new laws, they are technically powerless, hence why I specified just that. It is a traditional technicality, with no real power behind it any more.
