Well, except maybe Australia, where the traitors keep trying.
Today, we explore why governments in monarchies, even those with republican leanings, often find themselves supporting a hereditary monarchy. The primary reason for this support in Monarchies lies in the widespread popularity of monarchies. For example, in countries like Spain and Sweden, where socialist and social democrat parties hold power, there's a hesitancy to propose abolishing the monarchy due to its electoral popularity. In simple terms: at this moment, politicians will not risk the power they have, for the power they will most probbaly not get. The acceptance of a monarchy's role depends on its perceived impartiality. This perception has led to varying degrees of royal disengagement from government formation processes in different countries. In Sweden and the Netherlands, for instance, the monarch no longer plays a role, while in Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, and Norway, monarchs remain actively involved, albeit with certain political safeguards.
