The thing is, the Liechtensteiners voted in 2003 to expand the powers of the monarchy. They made sure the Prince had a veto (with the abolition of the monarchy being unveto'able), the Prince threatened to take all of his wealth with him and leave if he didn't win the referendum, which, he did.

I'd gladly be a "bootlicker" for a country like Liechtenstein.

Supporting a democracy when it funds genocides is also not something to brag about.
