It surprised me to know that a modern European country is still ruled by a royal family and not a parliament or democratic system. What’s even more of a twist is how this country has a committee like association which tries to pass bills that the prince has a final vote on. Recently there had been talks to limit the princes power in which he replied by saying ill just veto it. This makes it seem unless there is a revolution that there will be no limit to this prince’s power. I am glad that the United States doesn't have this problem because it would make it so nothing would get done. Liechtenstein its self is a lot smaller than the United States so this system may work for them but it seems like there may be same need of reform. This will be an interesting story to follow because already in the past already the prince has shown he wasn’t afraid to veto in 2003 on the abortion issue and this same bill to limit the power is going to keep coming up because apparently for the people to create it in the first place they aren't very happy with the state of things now.
