    No matter you prefer the absolute, parliamentary or symbolic kind. It must be true monarchy though, hereditary or at least dynastic. If enough attendance happens we can start a club or a social group restoration revolution maybe.

    Please specify, if you don't mind, what kind of a monarchist you are; absolutist, parliamentary or symbolic (non-functional).

    Hereby I declare that I, Mouzafphaerre, am a parliamentary monarchist. TC prosecutors, come and get me!

    Mouzafphaerre - Parliamentary/Constitutional

    I would say a parliamentary monarch. A balance between the people's vote and the hereditary line.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    They have a counter plan for that. It seems that they've started to marry the lower classes.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    An unelected executive combined with an elected legislature and a good system of checks and balances. Democracy works great on a local level but turns into a sceaming match when 300 million people are involved.
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    Very liberal leaning Parliamentary Monarchy. Like Sweden, or Norway. Curse being an American, although I suppose I will have a better chance of inciting a general revolt, and Installing myself as King... and I refuse to allow inbreds into my hereditary line, if the choices are Marry the Daughter of King **** who happens to also be your uncle, then obviously the right choice will be to marry a vivacious curvy Latina.

    Since God is an Absolute Monarchist who gives us a choice to believe in him or not, I guess If I had to be a a King, I would be a Parliamentary Monarchist type. We may be addressed as Your Highness or Your Excellency if you please.

    I'm not sure exactly. Probably I'd go with Reenk Roink - Absolute (Enlightened).

    In theory it's the best, right up until a complete prat is on the throne (look at the Ottoman Empire for example).

    In the UK, MPs and Civil Servants effectively supervise themselves and this shows with their toothless regulators, massive pensions and holidays (and they can still whinge!). If oversight was in the hands of a "good" Monarch this could be kept in line. Our current incumbent would be up to it, but it does create massive problems if the position of power is abused.

    The problem with monarchs is that you never know when you'll get some drooling idiot on the throne. So, perhaps a solution for the future would be to design a perfect robot-king to rule over us. One that will be programmed to rule for the people's good, one that will never do anything corrupt etc. I think it's the only solution.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    I'll never understand why some people long not to govern themselves. I mean, at some point a man turns eightteen, and ought to assume responsibility for his own life.



    Some remarks:
    Until the modern state, monarchs didn't spend their time keeping a bureaucracy and politicians in check. They spend their every waking our keeping the other noble families in check.

    Why do people only ever talk about national monarchs? Why not re-instate feudalism? After all, if a monarchy is so great, why not use the system at the provincial level, estate level? Then we'd have even more people to bow to and be inferior to!

    Monarchs are great to project imaginary 'if only's' on. 'If only there was a good king', 'if only the king would know'. Well, real life isn't a Disney's Cinderella cartoon. Society has conflicting interests, politics, painful choices to make. Even a hypothetical perfect monarch won't change a thing about that. Never has, never will. Not how government works. Only in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - 'some day my prince will come...'

    That's an interesting take.

    The Austrian Black and Yellow Alliance has a similar position. They wish to assemble the modern nations that were once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire under a common parliament with a Hapsburg as Monarch.

    I think they're interesting.
