The UK is a parliamentary democracy.

The UK is now a Orwellian nightmare!

This is exactly where we are going if the DNC gets control of this nation

I prefer to label such things by their reality rather than how they euphemistically choose to characterize themselves.

“The UK is a parliamentary democracy.”

Call it what you like, but many Brits are unaware that the Queen holds sway over their government nor do they have a clear understanding of their constitution. Many think the Monarchy is merely symbolic in nature, however, the Constitution exists at the Queens pleasure.

The Queen is the Commander in Chief of UK armed forces.

The Queen appoints judges.

The Queen approves all laws passed by the parliament.

The Queen can remove the Prime Minister at her leisure, as she did the Australian Prime Minister in 1975.

This looks, sounds and feels like a Monarchy to me.
