You mean like 'to bad' in post #131.
Learn to say what you mean...that requires using the correct words and spelling.
Quote:*emphasis mine*And how often does said monarch actually exercise any power in the day to day running of the country ? My guess would be he's a figurehead celebrity . So again my point remains .
The Church of Denmark is NOT powerless, the monarch is the head of the church, who holds reserve powers.

Quote:Is it likely for Denmark will have a religious fanatic as a monarch? probably not, but then again years ago it was highly unlikely that anyone thought that Trump could be president, so let's stop talking about how "powerless" the Church of Denmark is.Yeah that not gonna happen the church in Denmark is a vestigial institution doomed to fade . So again in all practical terms it's a secular state .
Quote:According to the Danish Constitution, the Danish Monarch, as the de facto head of state, is the holder of executive and, jointly with the Folketing, legislative power. The Monarch has the ability to deny giving a bill royal assent as well as to choose and dismiss the Prime Minister or any Minister of Government with or without cause; however, no Monarch has exercised the latter powers since King Christian X dismissed the government on 28 March 1920, sparking the 1920 Easter Crisis1920 very impressive. I wonder how the populous would respond if he tried that now . I imagine it wouldn't go well .
