A few curiosities.
This page seems to believe that Liechtenstein is a figurehead monarchy.
And there's this memo in the Council of Europe, which BTW is not the European Council, from half a decade ago in connection with the constitutional amendments in the Principality of Liechtenstein.
The memo states towards the end:
It would not only prevent the further development of constitutional practice in Liechtenstein towards a fully-fledged constitutional monarchy as in other European countries, but even constitute a serious step backward.The memo apparently does not only know the meaning of backward, but also that constitutional monarchy is just a synonymous term for let-the-politicos-do-as-they-please monarchy.
The memo also states:
[T]here is no generally accepted standard of democracy[...]Yes? But there is of constitutional monarchy?
Fully-fledged constitutional monarchy? My my, what kind of education do they have at the Council of Europe?
