How much actual influential power does he have? I'm not really an expert on the constitution of Belgium. We have a Queen, of course, but she's just a figurehead. We are basically a Republic disguised as a Kingdom. We have to, otherwise we would have to change our name to UR instead of UK. Mind you, knowing the EU, they probably want us to boot the Queen as well... :-k He has no power..If he doesn't agree to the laws made he will be booted,one king did actually get booted if i remember correctly.He's also more of a figurehead,but the diffrence with the UK is that more people in the UK (to my believes)actually look up to the Queen and praise her.
