'Democracy is the worst political system, except for all the others.' - Rt Hon Sir WSC ... but yes there is one of 'each system carrying the seeds of its own demise', something like that, quite possibly from one of those silly rebels yes King of Swamp Castle: This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not argue about who killed who. Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering silmite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king! Dennis interrupting: Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony! Dennis: Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you! Dennis: Oh, but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away! Dennis: Help! Help! I'm being repressed! Come see the violence inherent in the system! Violence inherent in the system!
