That’s an argument against an executive branch of government, not an argument against a constitutional monarchy.

You could have (and many countries do) a parliamentary system like you describe without having a monarch figurehead.

The question I think OP is asking is: why have the monarch figurehead.

Totally agree, that’s a huge issue that needs to be solved. Apartment complexes need to start putting in more outlets - they don’t even need to be L2.

Those who have to park on the streets will be a tougher challenge.

Our second car is a plug-in but l hybrid for road trips. Agree, that’s a useful case for ICE, but that car costs us far more to drive than our EV.

90% of personal driving (I’m ballpark guessing) is in town and can be handled by charging an EV overnight every few days by most drivers - doesn’t even have to be nightly.

Oil changes and frequent visits to the petrol/gas station. I just plug in my car in my driveway every night and I’m golden.

I’ve been driving a Nissan Leaf EV for more than 10 years at this point. I’ve put on about 70k miles of the over 90k miles it has on it.

Maintenance has been: 2x Tires. 3x Windshield wiper blades. 1x cabin air filter (because pollen). Replacing the radio that went bad. 1x Replaced the 12V battery … I really can’t think of anything else.

That’s it. It doesn’t even go through brake pads because the regen braking does most of the work unless I’m slamming on my brakes. = = = I don’t know for sure, but I’d be willing to bet the average EV has nearly an order of magnitude fewer moving parts than a similar ICE vehicle. It just makes sense that there’s less maintenance.

Could she have done better? Maybe. But I still think her losing had way more to do with more of the country being sexist and racist at heart than we’d like to believe
