What makes a (good) monarch?
As something of a history buff I've read about a fair few Kings and Queens through history. There are many of them, most mediocre, a lot of them objectively bad, however, now and again one stands out from the masses as a good one.
So, what (according to you) makes a good monarch? Feel free to point to a particular person, or event as an example :)
You're viewing a single thread.
No monarch is a good one IMO. The very idea of a monarchy is repulsive to me.
However, there are certainly some who are worse than others. The trouble is that by the time you find out, they're already the monarch and you can't get rid of them without a great deal of trouble.
The moment I think about - UK - say, president Blair, Johnson or Sunak, I change my mind.
This argument comes up every time. What if you get a KING Blair, Johnson or Sunak? At least a president can be voted out.
I don't think you really understand how monarchies work.
FYI Charles I was voted out to all intents and purposes.
Ok, how do I vote out the current King then? What's that? I can't?
I absolutely do understand how monarchies work, so don't patronise me - or at least not without expanding on your point so I can reply with more than "Yes I do”.
