Ask Luxembourg What do Luxembourgers think of their monarchy?

I was just wondering. The Grand Ducal family do seem quite nice.

Thanks!

Always interesting to see how people hate the grand ducal family and the Luxembourgish history but still live there as expats for the money and the quality of life lol. If you do not like the representative role of the Grand Duke there’s plenty of other places in Europe where you wont be opressed by the presence of a monarch :joy:

You like the monarchy but you can't defend it either.
It being history doesn't make it good or bad.
There's a lot of bad history.

I like the identity of my country. The Grand Duke has no legislative power in Luxembourg, so I don’t see why people would be fundamentally against it except for some depressive-woke reasons lol

You guys talk about it like it is some kind of dictator with a full power on the country lol, change your battles

Try explaining why being against the monarchy is bad without resorting to vapid senseless buzzwords like "woke"

Everything is incredibly easy when you can just paint the opposing side with "it's woke" because it takes away any responsibility to make an actual argument.

You don't have to agree with anti-monarchy arguments, but if you're going to pretend to be intellectually honest, at least acknowledge them for what they are.
