My friend made a good point though recently, which is that (in his opinion) the current royals are pretty decent people, and are preferable to be in power than most of the top politicians. So even though the system is bad, in reality, the result is OK, at least for now.
I don't know too much about the royals, but he seemed pretty convinced they are alright. And I would agree with him that I'd take them over the total moron David Cameron.
Actually, if Charles gets the throne for any length of time there probably won't be a next monarch. He really is a deluded, entitled, idiotic long streak of piss who probably does think he could get away with ruling by fiat. While, constitutionally (can I apy this word to a system with no constitution?) he has autocratic power, by convention and tradition he has none, and any attempt by him to get power will kill the monarchy (and he's stupid enough to be trying right now).
