    Loads of countries have royal families. I said many times that it’s not a stupid model and latest events in Poland only confirm this.

    Long story short: Polish president has mostly decorative role but current far-right guy is now illegally usurping powers that are constitutionally not his and conspiring with Trump behind the government’s back.

    In monarchies the King/Queen have pretty much the same role but their position is so weak that they simply smile and follow the orders. They have a lot to lose and nothing to gain.
