The Queen is just a figurehead, like the more recent US Presidents.

The true power in both the US and the UK is the 'Deep State' or the 'Establishment' or the 'Oligarchy' or whatever you want to call it. (The rich and powerful behind the scenes.)

Sure, we think we elect the President. But who really selects who are the final two candidates that we are allowed to vote for?
