    I'm not a monarchist, but I am happy to see a monarchy like Liechtenstein in the middle of Europe - variety and diversity is good. I just find democracy to have intrinsic design flaws that make it self-degrade gradually (even Marx predicted that).

    I'm really curious.. can The Queen dismiss the Parliament and take over in times of crisis? Something like that would be a wise emergency valve I think. After all modern democracy is quite a young system and the monarchy worked for long centuries.

    • I don't think so anymore no. That was all canned in the reformation to prevent the 'catholic threat' I believe.
      ********
    • But she still can send her man to handle mess in Commonwealth countries, like I think in Oz in 1979?raf
