Re: Monarchists
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.

Interesting, but if His Majesty's programming works as well as our computer network at my job, we're going to be in for a rough ride.Originally Posted by Rhyfelwyr

Onasander...the general must neither be so undecided that he entirely distrusts himself, nor so obstinate as not to think that anyone can have a better idea...for such a man...is bound to make many costly mistakes

Then his Majesty's program is hacked into by a 12-year old geek, who begins effectively ruling UK himself.

Re: Monarchists
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...'

Re: Monarchists
I prefer a parlimentary monarchy. With a written constitution. Where the monarch is the referee in parliment.
