King Charles III

[Prince Cobra]

Monarchy has certian advantages:

You have a certain figure that can be mentioned truly independent from any source of power in our society. No need to be elected and to be responsible to those who pay the money for the election campaign. In addition, each house prepares its heir since childhood for that task.

A long reigning monarch could give precious advises to his prime-ministers who excercise the real power.

In moment of crisis the authority of the monarch could stop any attempts to establish dictatorship of any kind (most often than not)

The disadvantages: Yes, the personality of the monarch matters. But nowadays he has few power and I believe that if he lacks the qualities for the monarch, he would be simply ignored and left in the political background. And yet, if he really creates big problems, he can simply resign and be replaced from one of his relatives. As far as Prince Charles is concerned if he continues in this way, it is easy to predict that he will be by-passed and replaced by his son.

Yes, it is true his right is inherited but there are many heads of state that do not deserve the honour to rule their country.

Republic or modern monarchy: there is not such a great difference!

As far as the monarchs of Great Britain: many of them were famous with their scandals. But none of them had ruined the country...
