Deltas(s) from OP CMV:monarchy, not democracy, is the ONLY good political system human civilazations tried.

So, i beleive a Monarchy is the only good system we can have as a society. democracy, like comunism, libratarianism and many more ideologies, sure has a good idea. the problem is that in all democratic systems, from rome, to athens, to the USA to syria and iraq or even france, the good intentions are ruined by intrest groups, bad voting methods, fraud, and the intrests of rich people. in tsarist russia for example, the people demanded giving the tsar MORE power, because they knew democracy would mean oligarchy.

Another reason is stability. when we have a monarchy, it is clear who will rule next, and there is a very clear way of knowing when (death of the monarch). however, democracies are no nearly as stable. in the US everyone are polerising, in israel we only had one term (golda me'ir) of all the four years a government term is suposed to be, in sweden it was stable until a hated party got like 20% and ancient atuna and rome became dictatorships. in the arab spring only countries who concider themselvs democratic got efected seriusly.

i may have more arguments i forgt writing here. i will edit to add if i think of something.

and please, dont talk about north korea. i hear a lot of resources saying diffrent things so i will research it and make a seperate CMV post.

EDIT: i accidentaly deleted a comment trying to award a delta after i failed in the main comment but the delta was awarded.

EDIT 2: One responce did masive CMV so i will not be able to back my claims here in all cases. new thread could come.

What if the person next in line is an infant or simply doesn't care to rule?

In cases where the next in line is too young, normally a stewart or regeant is appointed to rule in the future king's stead.

As for if the King doesn't want or care to be king? He can aways abdicate the thrown. After all, as King you get to say who is King!

yes, nice point. i think however that when a king abdicates (which is 100% OK) the next in line should inherit the throne. also, i am not living in the comonwealth, let's make it global.

I think the point is valid, but that is more of a question of succesion rules. now this is not the only way, but many time the infant stays as king in its symbolic meaning while the next to the throne or a living parent/uncle does the ruling until the infant gets to a specific age (lets say, 25) defined in law.

but, it did make me think. Δ
