minus-squareHomerianSymphony@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-24 months agoI am not saying the same thing as you. You’re saying monarchy is the opposite of democracy. I’m saying monarchy is the opposite of republic. This isn’t a matter of opinion. You’re just wrong. Monarchies can be electoral democracies. The UK is a monarchy and it’s an electoral democracy. (But it’s not republic, because republic is the opposite of monarchy.)
