This is not true. The Monarchy directly intervenes in government without transparency or accountability.

Lovely thank you.

That is horrific to read though, I appreciate the correction. I knew there was some form of consent granted in a "you've already decided this, I'm consenting for show only" kind of way but this is exactly the kind of abuse that a constitutional monarchy is supposed to avoid.
