    Nah. This is not being truthful with yourself.

    You honestly believe that a democracy of peers will have an overwhelming honest populous that won’t be beholden to external interests or hate against each other? There has always been a boogie man. The GOP is the idiots of today but there were others before and more after.

    You said a democracy functions on honesty. If you’re populous isn’t honest or intelligent enough to be correct, then it can’t function.

    What do you mean “one version of thing”? The UK monarchy has been one thing many ways. It is rarely a dictatorship with just 1 person. It’s usually authoritarian run by a collective. You could argue that the collective is essentially a republic. Except instead of being a democratic Republic, it’s monarch Republic. The Royal families of various gulf countries have presided for a while now, and views have changed over the years and there’s been succession.
