3.5 Democratic

The best regime has been discussed by many a philosopher and each system has its merits.  Even though the media showcases the English Prince and Princess trotting around the globe with fans all over the world, not many people favor monarchies.  Monarchies have existed in the past.  There was no better way in the past.  Feudal monarchies take what they want and reign with the iron fist.  Not that there is anything wrong with the iron fist, however there needs to be a little compassion.  It is not fair to live in castles, dining on lobster and wine, while the general population have no access to a basic shelter with sanitary plumbing.  History shows that the British subjects were eating porridge three times a day, if they were lucky, while the British Queen would trot around the globe pillaging from each nation.  It is not fair.  Nobody votes in a monarch.  They fight and take the throne.  Most of the monarchies have been torn down for the better.  Then there’s the problem of the dictator.  A dictator is no different to a king.  A king will design a fancy constitution to hide his power, however there is no difference between a monarchy and dictatorship.

The people do not choose a king or a dictator.   By aggressive means, they take power.   This would not be such a bad idea, however history shows that dictators and Kings are not fair and do not rule with love.   They are driven by greed and power and they can never have enough.   Hobbes asserts that a monarchy is the best regime, and I would be a fit King as I believe I would rule with the heart, however will concede my Kingdom to democratic rule.   Let the people choose their leadership.   Western democracies have proved to be wealthier and happier.   Therefore this dissertation advocates for democratic rule.   There is the problem that the people are not able to make decision or every matter on the table.   The idea of the referendum on important issues is a good idea.  Protests on government action are deemed appropriate as a non-violent means of voicing an opinion.   And the local council members ought to open their doors to their people to voice their opinion.   This dissertation provides an overview of the best regime, however the fine details of the checks and balances to avoid corruption and power blocs will be left to the chosen government to decide upon.
