The Current Status of Monarchism.

Oh dear, lack of understanding about what love for monarchy means I think. Also a lack of understanding about the U.K's government, we do get to vote in a Parliament y'know?

But you don't vote for your monarch.

Is that a problem if no better form of governance exists?

There are many better forms of governments. A goverment that has the potential to let an idiot become a leader has a problem, whether there is no better goverment or not. Such a major problem has to be fixed. Why not have a republic (Not necessarily reffering to Democracy).

Correct, that is why it is a monarchy...

But why have a monarchy then?

Democracy.

So much better than a constitutional monarchy. Evidence: France and Germany.

True, but there are many different forms of Republics... Like a Socialist one.

I said democracy, not republic. And the great thing about it, is that there is no need to specify whether a democracy is socialist, religious, capitalist, liberal, conservative or whatever. It can be any of them, and change between them peacefully.

For starters, it would be impossible to corrupt your politicians by bribing them in exchange for titles...
