For Constitutional Monarchies they can so long people like them.

That may be it; all the super-competent old-hands have been replaced by a bunch of nincompoops. This is my first go at a republic, so I'd never seen term limits come into play. Term limits in the 18th Century?

Abolute Monarchy FTW :).

Yeah, Absolute monarchies are by far the best in my opinion :D
I don't remember where I heard that, but yes in republics only 2 terms...
What I dislike in democracies and constitutional monarchies is that I have no idea who will replace the guy I fire if he catches lots of bad traits. But it always seems to be the same person replacing if I reload and then fire the same guy again.

i agree. AM's are the best. if you are unpopular, just hire different, more qualified ministers!

te only reason i dont like CM's and republics are because the people are stupid. they vote out the best men and vote in crappy young guys

It's all about public happiness, I managed to keep same government as GB for 70 turns by constantly expanding causing patriotic fervour or whatever it's called :D

I've always thought it's too easy to keep the populace happy and the govt in power. I don't remember the party in power ever actually losing...

Agreed. I've never had a government lose in my CM games. IMHO, CM is far better than AM - no industrial unrest, you have good research speed, etc.

I thought that the advantages of CM over AM outweigh the benefits of having better ministers in AM.

That happens after more or less every election when playing as the United States, I found I had several turns of cabinet re-shuffling after every election to restore decent government.
