I think the best government would to be one please its people not its own pockets and inetersts..
The new right. Imperium Europa. democratic but cares for his country and ppl, not the outsider like the European Union.

There are several problems with a monarchy. When you have a capable, caring and benevolent monarch then it can work well. The problem is, too often, the monarch is none of those things. The current monarch is based on ancestry not capability. Since a monarchy is often from a limited gene pool, the possibility of capability is often reduced. Since monarchs are often not accountable, there is too often temptation to abuse their power. Even with a monarch that does right by the people, there is often a lot of abuse. Monarchs tend to live lavishly. Even if their lifestyle is not at the expense of the people, it does take something away from them.

A republic has the potential to solve a lot of problems, but you have to build a fire under the butts of those that get elected to get them to do something. Now if more people participated and kept a little pressure on elected officials to serve the people maybe they'd do their job and we would be better off.

The problem (with a republic) is that once a candidate is elected there is very little incentive for them to do the right thing for the duration of their term. They can stay in office and do a so so job and chances are they'd get re-elected again because they're the incumbent. What is needed is a system that holds them accountable if they don't do the right thing and doesn't necessarily guarantee them office for the full term. i.e. today it is easy for them to get into office and very hard to get them out. We need a system where it is very hard for them to get into office and very easy for them to be kicked out. Only then will there be an incentive to keep them in office and for them to do the right thing for the people (vs. the corporations).
