Yes. It's a parliamentary system with the Queen (Elizabeth II) as Head of State. In Canada, we have her representative, the GG (Governor General), who has a mansion in Ottawa, along with one for the PM and one for the Leader of the Opposition. The Queen actually has interceded to Canadians' benefit re a political corruption scandal. Our Senate is appointed. There's talk about switching to an elected Senate. Sometimes I think it's a GOOD idea, maybe build some proportional representation into our system through the Senate.
I don't know how it works in the US, but here a government can be elected with little of the popular vote. Kind of sad.

The British. Well, except for the bunch that assassinated Honest Abe Lincoln. (?) Which Knights are those?
