Monarchies, in general, have a vested interest in making their country successful over the long term because the monarch knows (or at least hopes) that his progeny will be the ruler of the country in the future.
It’s democracies that run their country “into the ground” because all that the so called “leaders” are focused on is just getting elected every (in our case) four years by promising ‘bread and circuses’ to the stupid voters who have such short memories every election! Look at the United States lately (over the last 3/4 of a century) if you want living proof of this!!! It’s the “Peter Principle” gone mad!
As I’ve said, quit knocking the King — well, except that in this special case, Id seems to be a kingdom with all the faults of a democracy and none of the virtues of the kingdom!!
Hemophilia says your wrong on that, Desoto. So does most of tribal and recent history. Having a Parlement to keep them in check works wonders on the modern royalties.
