In defence of Monarchy

The monarchy and aristocracy in the NAC does not seem such a bad idea. 
Here, for what it is worth is my justification (Australians take careful

note please (&#61514;).
Monarchy may not be the ideal political system (I still don’t know which

one is) but it makes a handy backup. In a crisis when democracy crashes 
and burns the old system, of loyalty to a leader is waiting in the 
wings, the military still swear allegiance to the monarch (as far as I 
know) so the change is quite smooth. The old families are still there, 
still rich, still influential so turning the clock back is not 
impossible.
BTW a politician things next year is long term, a monarch has the future

of his family to consider so he/she would really plan for the long term 
(unless we have a nutter but we should know to watch for that now, maybe

the old Celtic system of electing a king from those eligible.
In the FCT when things fell apart there was not the same foundation, 
instead everything was chaos until the veterans organised… (we can steal

the rest off  ‘Bob Heinlein, after all aren’t the FCT troops based on 
the ones in the movie Starship Troopers?).

Michael.
