If The Hague is a country...

Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, December 04 2012 @ 05:32 PM EST

I was wondering about that also. But in a constitutional monarchy, the
"capital" might be where the monarch squats, and the "seat of
government" where the ministers skulk and representatives plot. (or, less
likely, vice versa.)

If The Hague is a country...

Which means that London is not the Capital of England :-)

The City of London was a seat of Government in that it has the Tower of London,
but Parliament actually sits in the Palace of Westminster a couple of miles west
of London (the City, that is).

But all of this sits at the centre of Greater London.

A ripe source of confusion. I was at a quiz once when the quiz-master thought
Boris Johnson was the Lord Mayor of London. He isn't - he's the Mayor of London.
The former title goes back hundreds of years and is the guy in charge of the
City, the latter title is very new and Boris is only the second guy to hold it.

Cheers,
Wol
