Dion, this response of yours ignores two important considerations.
(a) The principle of a hereditary head of state is more stable , whether
benevolent or malevolent is not a factor. (though this system by its nature
tends to cause the holders family to try to remain popular.)
(b) An elected head of state has a limited time in office, Popularity
becomes secondary to accrueing as much moola in the bank with the handsome
super package. Thus Corruption and control by special interests like the
money power, allows for the undermining of the 1st principle stability.
Mind you I am not referring to the current monarchys. These all lost their
true status when they abrogated their sole right to create coin and credit.
AS HAS DONE ALL DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS OF THE WORLD. The British monarch no
longer has to remain popular, has no power to help the people, is aware of
its limited tenure, and of course thus also more concerned with
consolidating its finacial base.
"let me control the credit of a nation and I care not who holds the
political power" Rothchild
But I await the counter rebellion to restore all things. This is certain to
happen when the current slide in the civilisation gets bad enough.
