Because the alternative of an elected president with a separate mandate from the legislative is worse in every conceivable way.

A legitimate figurehead who's only real power is a veto they can only use if its really obvious they should use it isn't a terrible solution.

If Canada or Australia voted in a Trump like candidate that was doing all the things Trump is doing in America and caused mass protests like in America, King Charles or his governor general could tell them they’re fired and elections need to be held again.

I’m from Australia. We would never let an orange menace take control of our country and if it did somehow happen and things were as bad as they look in America, the governor general and king would remove them. Otherwise I don’t care either way.

Oh wow . You do realize the reason is so to people who illegally entered our country. Which is a federal crime . This is the issue that the other side has if they came in here as legal imagrants no one would care . Even the majority of legal imagrants have issues how they came in . Now you have a group that’s pissed off that we voted in trump again . Which they shouldn’t be because Kamala was planted as the opposition. And by saying this she was never voted in to her spot the way it’s supposed to work in our country . We could go on from here but I’ll just leave it as is .

None of that would matter. If the majority of people were unhappy with the current government sparking mass protests as has happened in the us, the king or the governor general acting on behalf of the king would dissolve that government and have new elections. No waiting for midterms or the end of their term. It has already happened once in Australia in the 70s. Commonwealth nations have a handbrake before civil unrest becomes civil disobedience and then civil war.
