How do these countrys declair what real democracies should be like
when they still allow those who think they are privileged to maintain
a position without due elections.
Who needs a list of those countrys that still pratice privileged positions
that smack the face of those people who belive in democracie?
Kings and Queens live on the system as welfare leaches, while never
contributing anything to that system. Just privileged??

HaHa - A morachy reinforces Democracy; while the British Queen technically has some "power", legally she will not prevent the process of Democratic Governance. It remains that the Prime Minister is ultimately "Answerable" to the Queen, as well as the people. If someone tried to take over the Government by military coup, the Queen simply gains control of the Army, who would take down the coup and reinstall rightful Democracy.
The Monarchy keeps the Government "in check" and conversly the opposite is true also. It means that "Absolute Power" is more or less impossible.
The House of Lords also plays a similar role in the UK. As does Congress in the US, though in this instance the seperation is less apparent, it is more common that control of both Houses is held by the same party. The independence of a Monachy prevents this.
