I supported the monarchy as an institution (not necessarily the personalities involved) when I thought they would act as a check on power mad politicians who attacked our rights. Sadly the controlavirus has shown the monarchy (Queen, GG, LG's) is unwilling to be the constitutional fire extinguisher they're supposed to be.

The American system of checks and balances had merit too, but that's gotten all fucked up and perverted over time also. Not sure what the answer is anymore.
