Mark Drakeford
The post-nominals letters "PC" should not be used for Mr Drakeford's title. "PC" is used in the post-nominals of a Privy Counsellor who is entitled to the style "The Right Honourable" by some other right (e.g., barons, viscounts and earls). As a commoner, Mr Drakeford is entitled to the style "The Rt. Hon." only by his membership of the Privy Council, and so post-nominal letters are superfluous. See other commoner PCs' titles, the Welsh Govt's profile for Drakeford and the Wiki article on the PC

The WHO and Hays list the same monarchs, but whereas Ulrika Eleonora was Queen of Sweden for just over a year, she had abdicated in favour of her husband in 1720 and was consort, not regnant, come her death in 1741. Therefore, there sources provide "only" four reigning monarchs (and a queen consort).Tag: Visual edit: Switched

Democracy
Removed reference to the body of citizens being "the sovereign power in any variant of democracy". There are many democracies - particularly constitutional monarchies - where this is not the case.

Democracy
There are many examples of democracies where 'the people' are not designated as sovereign, but are granted the right nonetheless to vote in free and fair elections e.g. many of the constitutional monarchies including the UK.
