Its a constitutional republic

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Whereas in the UK we do it under the table and rather than an elected man doing the overruling we get an inherited hereditary individual acting for personal self-interest/personal wealth.

The UK monarch hasn’t failed to ratify laws passed by the Commons and Lords for centuries though and is basically ceremonial.

On this first day of 2026 let us all not forget the torment that fraud in Minnesota and other states is causing MAGAndy.
It is a well known fact that until 2025 fraud had never been heard of in the US until it was imported by immigrants.

I don’t get how a country where one man can overrule the whole system like that can be called a democracy.

Just been reading about the presidential veto.

He can basically veto anything, and can only be over turned by 66% vote in both houses.
The convention is that the veto is rarely used, except in exceptional circumstances.

If he loses both houses in the mid terms then the whole system could just shut down as Trump won’t care about conventions. He’s already vetoing clean water legislation, hardly a political hot potato.

Again it just shows how vulnerable democracy is, if people choosing to act in a way that ignores convention.

No. They just get given legislation in advance and tell Ministers how they want it changed for their advantage. eg does anybody think Parliamanet just decided on its own to exempt they Royals from the 2010 Equality Act? Or specific exemptions from the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021, or specific exemptions from the Heat Networks (Scotland) Act 2021, or specific exemptions from the Wild Animals and Circuses (Wales) Act 2020, or specific exemptions from the Private International Law (Implementation of Agreements) Act 2020, etc., etc.

And those include exemptions from legislation relating to Planning Controls, Historic Environment, Business Improvement, Tax Powers Act(s), Fisheries, etc., etc.

And some of those exemptions are such that they block investigations into other crimes.

Personal exemptions from over 160 of our laws and those exemptions generally relate to "... in their private capacity" is not in relation to their Royal duties.

The big win for the Democrats would be if they could take a 66% majority in both houses.

That will only help if most of those aren't Starmer impersonators.

It is genuinely hard to know where to begin with this 'vision' of America, whichis being promoted through an official US government account. I wonder who they think is going to do all the work that these people do to keep the country functioning.

The racism is no longer something they hide, even at government level, but something to shout from X. And what era is that car? The imagined era they want to go back to?

Seems that some lawyer threatened the South Park writer who bought the Trump-Lincoln Center domain names. I guess he's not caving.
