I think those monarchies are even less than figureheads. They hold no power and are basically all glamour.Originally Posted by SnnY

Yeah, I agree, yet we are still listed as monarchy.
For some flukked up reason a majority voted to keep us a monarchy too.
And this is with us having the kind of quality royals that can't read properly, our king once even forgot which town he was in, while holding a speech.
Apparently the PR is too good to let go of.
EDit: that doesn't apply to all the european monarchies today tho', I don't think. Some royals do have more power, I'm fairly certain of that.

You all have overlooked a country which combines the best of both ideas-it is called....
The People's Democratic Republic of (North) Korea.
Perhaps you've heard of Kim Jong Il?
He owns it.

Are you complaining about truth in political advertising?Originally Posted by j2k4
it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

No-I intended it as a reminder, though it actually does fit your bill of particulars as to "peacefulness".
Riots are almost non-existant, I hear.
That old democratic repression is pretty effective; or maybe Kim Jong Il is just terribly good at it-I can't be sure at this remove.
Then again, maybe you were expecting a different response from me; I can't be sure of that, either.

J2 the Peaceful part was about the statement that democratic nations don't tend to attack other nations. Not about domestic peace.

Carry on, then.

hmm. this "house of lords" sounds like a potentially messy thing, politically. it seems like it might overrepresent certain interests, by default?Originally Posted by JPaul
