Outta luck then

and what if this monarch is completely incompotent?

Ever looked at England? They had several terrible kings, but still worked. You have ministers and you have a few limits on depravity and you have the occasional rebellion.

Tchaicucksky we've had a higher proportion of incompetent elected leaders as opposed to monarchs, your argument is shit.

''Are there any steps taken to stop a corrupt monarch from ruling?''
Any to prevent a corrupt politician from gaining power?

KCt4th is right...

He will be overthrown. You realize all the questions you're asking are applicable to democracies.

God you're so dumb. Also why would a monarch be genocidal? Why would he kill his own subjects there never been 1 king who has killed his own subjects en masse in western history whereas there have been numerous democratically elected leaders who have genocided their own subjects.

There was hundreds of German Monarchs in the HRE. They waged nearly constant war against each other for hundreds of years, resulting in millions of deaths.

Also we can test your statement Karl.

Yep, your statement is false.

A war isn't a genocide. Also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Brice%27s_Day_massacre isn't a genocide of ones own people and it wasn't senseless. Once again Major looks retarded.

Hold it up Karl the Kuck, these were mostly non-combatants who had peacefully settled in England.


And I was talking to GeneralPE when I was talking about the awful monarchs of Germany.

Monarchy does not exist. Oligarchy does.

Genghis being an autist as always.

You didn't refute my counter argument Major Sweden.

St. Brice's was against foreigners in the English lands, not the king's own people, Smedley. The "awful" monarchs of Germany were only because there was no single powerful monarch or an organized aristocracy.

You let them in your lands and take taxes from them, they are settlers yes, but they are your folk.

Yes and what happened when the monarchs (who killed over 11 million in the span of thirty years in the 1600s) were replaced with a centralized monarchy? WW1.

A well-regulated monarchy with some restrictions seems to be the best form of government. Democracy is plagued with lobbyists and huge corporations that can sway the peoples' vote on a whim. The majority of the population is not educated enough to vote. A monarch and a group of aristocrats, voted in by highly educated, property owning individuals, would defend personal liberty more than a democratic form of government.

An aristocracy would eliminate corruption in the government. If already wealthy people held power, they would not be enticed by lobbyists or bribes, they stand to gain nothing from betraying their people just to get a little extra money.

A monarch would be educated their whole life on how to rule, and royal family would ideally being (genetically) intelligent and fit to rule. A monarchy also has the benefit of knowing who is next in line for power, so power struggles are limited.

And Smedley you're wrong, and beginning to sound retarded. Kings have been historically better rulers than non-monarch dictators. There are a few bad examples as with any form of government. No system is perfect but a monarchy is the best system for preserving personal libert.

WW1 happened because of English and French greed. Also not seeing a citation for the 11 million figure. Also +1 Nitr01

Stop being dumb, the monarchs or history weren't benevolent rulers as you like to paint them. They waged war, taxed heavily, and gave handouts to their friends.

Now what is the verdict on kings by someone who lived in a time filled with them?

“kings are carnivorous, rapacious, a brigand, a destroyer, solitary, hated by all, a pest to all…”
