If there’s anything that bothers me it’s the American ability to butcher grammar.

I was wondering where their money came from. I’m surprised the UK keeps up with that king and queen tradition when they have almost no say in legislation.

the people vote for the political party they want in power, the party chose which individual from within the party who should be leader, (would become the Prime Minister if that party win the election). once a political party wins the election, the leader of that party asks the Queen if they can form the next Government. The Queen has the right to say no to that request.
so the monarchy have quite a lot of say in legislation. [/quote]
The Monarch also has to sign any legislation that comes in. Technically he / she can refuse.
