She told a police officer she was in labor. The Louisville Metro Police Department lieutenant cited her for unlawful camping as the ambulance arrived. She had a baby later that day.
EU has far better democracy than USA. It’s even part of the requirements to become a member. USA is a dysfunctional democracy, which is why it’s basically a 2 party system. That’s just one party more than any authoritarian nation, and it shows.
Ooh! So if GB wants back into the EU, will you guys make them stop supporting the welfare monarchy? Make the royals pay their own way! It’s not like they will cease to exist, they just won’t have tons of tax free estates.
The royals of the UK is a UK matter, I don’t think people outside UK care much about them.
We have our own Royals, and although I think the principle is morally wrong, they are actually a pretty integral part of our democracy, and have done a good job.
Most here may not realize this, but for instance we have on occasion had a parliamentary stalemate, that the Queen was instrumental in solving quickly, so government could function normally.
This is part of the reason Denmark is one of the most stable countries in the world. So most Danes are pragmatic enough to not to try to fix what already works.
Mind you royalty does NOT interfere in politics, but they facilitate and administrate negotiations in the case parliament can’t decide on who shall run the government.
Yes our royalty cost money, but probably no more than a similar function that would require a president or some other institution.

I wasn’t discussing the US. I just think the royals should have to actually do something to pay GB back for once.
