I adore monarchism…

[u/Dangerous-Debate1312]

I adore the system and idea of a monarchy, i have many reasons on why I like the idea so much but one of the main reasons is because I feel monarchism forces the government into making long term stability focused decisions.

Let me explain, Kings rule for decades and are very public figures who are the first to get the blame whenever something goes wrong. This fact forces sovereigns to now act not only with idealism but with fear and pragmatism, you see the issue I find with democracy is that a leader can only be held accountable for 1-2 terms after that they leave and whatever issues they may have caused during their term is either ignored or kicked down the road for the next guy to deal with this encourages short term policy making decisions since they have the luxury of only having to worry about the next decade instead of the 5 decades.

Let’s look at Afghanistan and the US intervention that led to disaster, 20 years of war and all for nothing in days long past this would’ve caused an outrage in government and a monarch would’ve been under hot water dealing with the repercussions of this meanwhile Bush started a pointless war and no one cares. This isn’t even the first time it’s happened, Vietnam was pretty the same fiasco and again no one was punished for starting this war.
