The Germans are normally smart Except when they killed their nukes and embraced idiotic green energy policies that are driving their manufacturing economy down the tubes. I think a major reason their economy is getting hit is China's new electric cars.

As with the French, the British had problems with Royalty over the years. Everything got sorted after some unpleasantness when Charles II was restored in 1660. Basically a UK general called George Monk saved the Royals hides. George Monck, 1st duke of Albemarle \| British General, English Civil Wars, Stuart Restoration \| Britannica Hence a period in history known as the "Restoration". The deal was; the King remained the King BUT he (or the Queen) did not poke their noses into politics in any obvious way. They very much stayed in the background while the Houses of Parliament conducted the affairs of the Country. It worked for the UK up until recently. The Scots, always helpful to their buddies down in England, helped them make their mind up. Restoration \| Restoration Period, Charles II & Glorious Revolution \| Britannica The late Queen played her role very well indeed. A trained professional like her parents. Hopefully the current iterations will see what is best and get things back into trim. The environment is a good thing to be concerned about, but a smart boss arranges the workers to run the show. In my experience micromanagers are NOT the way to go. Whatever, all this was sorted some time ago for the benefit of the nation. It worked for a while. I really didn't expect that pot to get stirred again in my lifetime. Sure you can get rid of Royalty, and save a lot of money, but then you still have to have something to replace it with, like a President. The significant question is: Is a President cheaper (more efficient) then a Royalty? To be honest, the UK Royalty may be the cheaper option. We get Charles, you get Trump. Who is better off? -g- The French got rid of their Royalty, and did it result in a better social order at the end of the day? Some of the things like shopping (denouncing) your neighbours as being enemies of the State, just because you didn't like them, are characteristic of that violent, dark & petty period in French history. It took Napoleon to get things back on an even keel. We want that? I mean really. Napoleon was smart, they were having a lot of problems with innovative currencies at the time, which didn't work too well. Napoleon paid his troops in gold, and let them take of the rest (more or less) of the business that troops do. We can learn something from the French there perhaps? Essentially I see Napoleon as an Austrian economist in his outlook.
