VETO!

In this article, the people of Lichtenstein have begun trying to pass a referendum that states that the royal family can't veto any any referendum. A referendum over there is the same thing as a law or bill over here in the states. But to noone's suprise the royal family is going to veto this referendum. As I keep reading the prince is said to be shocked, which i really don't see how. Back in 2003 the people of Lichtenstein tried to pass a similar referendum, that was vetoed by the royal family.

If i was in the royal family I would be embarrassed. The ruler of a country is supposed to be a role model, and well liked by the people in their country. It makes me wonder what is going on over in Lichtenstein that will don't know. This isn't fair to the people under the rule of royals because they have no say in any of the laws or anything. I couldn't imagine not being able to have a voice of my own.

I am thankful to live in the country I do, under the government I do. I love having a say. Which is why I vote. Luckly for us, noone can ever get complete power in our country. Yes the president does have a lot of say, but not nearly as much as the royal family over in Lichtenstein. Democracy is a great system. Hearing about other countries who don't have it, it just shows why people should truly adopt the Democracy lifestyle!
