Having an absolute ruler kind of has everything to do with authoritarianism. The UK is flawed to a frightening degree, always has been, that’s why it’s so out of place and left behind by the rest of Europe.
Same with Norway, Denmark, Sweden, or the Netherlands - all of which are monarchies, but also 100% democracies, without the “let’s ID check everyone trying to access the Internet and block their VPNs” vibe that UK recently acquired.
Lol OK, sorry, it’s a constitutional democracy whose parliament is given authority by an absolute ruler. Still pretty shit and I strongly support any movement to do away with monarchs permanently.
Nothing to do with authoritarianism.
They were never democracies to begin with.

The UK’s king is not an absolute ruler.
