BroBot9000,

You're logic and reasoning have won me to your side.

Let's toss out our system of government.

Yes, yes we definitely should adopt an American-style government with the 'checks and balance'.

Absolutely nothing dangerous going on in the world these days.

Let's roll the dice!

lol. Because I’m against an outdated archaic system doesn’t mean I want to replaced with another corrupt government.

That fact that you use the US to justify the monarchy is fucking laughably stupid.

Socialism, universal basic income and proportional representation are never going to happen under the rule of a fucking King.

Enjoy your gruel peasant.

The UK is more socialist than the USA and has a King. The UK also has proportional representation in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The UK uses first past the post in Westminster because it democratically rejected the alternative vote in 2011. Universal Basic Income definitely can happen under a monarchy. I don't see how the monarchy makes it not the case. If it's because of a "rich head of state", Donald Trump, the democratically elected head of state of the USA is richer than our King. Even our previous prime minister was richer than our king.

Keep spouting your larpist drivel, you talk as if the King knocks on your door every morning and escorts you to his palace to be his human footrest

Denmark, Norway, and Sweden are all still monarchies and they're doing alright on the socialism front
