A king is born into his position. He has no need for any qualification whatsoever, from the moment he is born, he is chosen to be king. It really is shameful for our society to behave in this way.
Any kind of government is originally intended for the good on its own people... even those "undemocratic monarch" that you've seen is actually someone who his ancestors were "elected" to made his lineage leaders for (hopefully) countless generations. At least, they should have some sense of duty, and your "real decision - maker" is the Prime Minister, who was elected, right? so denying monarchy rights of their title and institution, is basically the same thing when you rob a rich, but innocent man, all his riches, and then let him die nude in cold slums... If they still stand, it was because God still wants them to a good efffects... And to say they are useless, you just prove of your "disloyalty"...
