Not a cult
the Assad dynasty in Syria clung on by the skin of its teeth.
:who-must-go: Very funny of them to call out Assads’ “dynasty” while advocating for a Monarch for an entire continent.
Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the smaller Gulf monarchies, by contrast, saw unrest — some of it serious — but were not seriously threatened.
Could it be that they were U.S allies?
Indeed, the continued reign of Emperor Hirohito after the catastrophe of 1945 played an important part in stabilising the country.
:mao-shining:
For this reason, I prefer the Star Wars option which is to create a hereditary European emperor or empress, who would serve as head of state not only for whatever single Eurozone state emerges but also for the rest of the EU, and indeed the entire democratic part of the Continent.
STAR WARS :soypoint-1::soypoint-2: U.K. isn’t in the EU and EU states hate and exploit each other lmao.
There would be no reason why the elected heads of state — such as in Ireland — should not be retained, but they might also (being now an unnecessary luxury in a United States of Europe) safely be abolished.
Very interesting for a British monarchist to specifically mention Irish President to be abolished and replaced with a Briish monarch.
Admittedly, either solution may be a lot for republicans to swallow, but if it helped to bring Europeans closer together, and prevented Britain and ‘the Continent’ from drifting further apart, might the price not be worth paying?
Why would a monarch change anything about how E.U. countries hate each other, how Germany destroyed the Greek economy, how western Europe exploits cheap labor from the Eastern Europe etc.
Not even the Brits like Prince Charles, why would rest of the Europe like him.
King Charles III has a long way to go if he hopes to become as popular as his late mother. Elizabeth II enjoyed an impressive 75% approval rate among the British public, polling group YouGov found earlier this year, with fewer than one in ten saying they didn’t like her. By contrast, Charles was the seventh most popular royal. Just 42% of respondents said that they liked him.
