I get that there is nuance to why people feel some admiration for a strongman figure, but why not take the mask off and bring back monarchy and aristocracy, if people are getting tired of democracy and want to be ruled? Like those defending the rich and don’t want to raise taxes on them, in the hopes that they become rich themselves and would not vote against their own projected interest, do some people think they will become dictator themselves one day?
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.
