That sounds like we have shit voters, rather than advocating for having a royal family.

There are plenty of countries without a royal family that aren't doing badly.

Yes. We do. That's why having a politically neutral head of state is necessary. We know that for our lifetimes, our head of state will be just a figurehead and not politically involved, and be a somewhat decent (albeit flawed) person. (unless Prince George somehow goes bad, but he has a good father)

Yet. The same could have been said about the USA 10 years ago. But they roll a die every four years. We have a head of state change every 10-70 years and we always know who the next one is going to be.

The only good and practical argument for a democratically elected head of state is just virtue signalling and on paper being against inherited power and pretending that nepotism doesn't exist.

And also, to be for democracy yet claim you have "shit voters" is a contradiction in itself. You disagree with the voters, but if you're in a democracy, it's kind of hard to argue that the voting base is being objectively "shit"
