Here's why this is complete and absolute nonsense fabricated for political reasons. The only people who think Scandinavian countries are "democracies" are those who haven't read their constitutions... and that includes most of their natives.

* Their monarchs have absolute power, the monarchs give right to the parliament to exist for example

* The monarch can decide who gets to run for elections

* The monarch can veto against any legal decision

All of them do have elections and they do appear to have some impact on policies... but the supreme power is hidden and made to look ceremonial to the masses when it is totally not the case.
