    Since when was Mohammed Bin Salman a constitutional monarch?

    Since the King ratified the Basic Law of Governance in 1992.

    I may as well show how Vladimir Putin is an example of why a democratically elected president is a bad idea.

    Relabel him a Constitutional Monarch, though. Suddenly he’s a good idea again?

    The advantage with a monarch is that you’re rolling the dice every 20-30 years (70 in the case of Elizabeth II)

    How is that any different from a popular president operating without term limits? Or a popular party that consistently holds the majority of seats in government?

    Is the little gold hat adding something I can’t see? Or do you just like the pomp and circumstance of royalty?

    With an elected president it’s unpredictable

    The French spent nearly a century jumping back and forth between popular revolution and bourbon restoration. Was that more predictable?

    How about the War of the Roses? Or the numerous Seljuk wars of succession in Iraq and Persia? Or the Taiping Rebellion?

    Inflexible monarchies prompted each of these social catastrophes.

    The Roman Imperial Era was rife with instability, with Rome violently changing hands multiple times in a given year.

    That’s far more unpredictable than a Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama-Trump-Biden hand off, particularly when so much of the “deep state” doesn’t really change.
