Aye, it's a sad thing. Being a Greek and seeing how blunderous this idiotic government is, I wish for Constantine II back every bloody day. If it weren't for the greed of politicians, I think the world would be a much different place. Of course, the people should have a right to democracy. This is a great practice that was born in ancient Athens thousands of years ago. But something the Athenians also learned is, like many things, too much democracy (just as too much autocracy) can cause problems and cause governments to become ineffective. There must be balance between the power of monarchs and the power of the people so that the greed of politicians do not monopolize the governments of nations and render said governments useless.
Very true, indeed nothing of to much is good. No matter if it was democracy or monarchy or other forms of government ruling. One must always have a balance between things to make it work effective. Indeed politicians can become very greedy, but guess so it is with all people when to much power comes to their head as so many politicians has shown it over the years. But hopefully one day one can find a balance between different forms of government to make it more effective and stable in a country.
Well I do understand countries like Sweden and Norway are model governments. From what I understand, they both have Monarchies that the people respect and love, as well as a decent parliamentary and democratic structure. It seems to me that this is what a balanced government should look like.
True both Norway and Sweden has both monarchies that are loved and respected by people and parlimentaries that workes together. Even if one might not like once parliment as I am not a fan of one, but I guess that it might be better then many countries. But it is a balance that works and that if one wants to have a monarchy still can work and not get to dominating. But then it should be up to all countries to decided what works for them. Since something working for one country might not work for another country, so it should be up to the countries to decided what work to them. But of course people should decided and not just the government to decided to it.
Indeed, not all countries are the same as different peoples prefer different governments. But I quite admire the systems of government employed by Sweden and Norway. There really is no 'perfect' form of government, but I have friends who have traveled to/have family in Norway and Sweden. From what they tell me, the governments there are rather ample and tend to be more effective than many other governments.
True I agree there is no "perfect" goverment. But I can imagine that the government in Sweden and Norway is rather ample and tend to be more effective then many other government. Of course there can always be improvment in the government, but compare to some country they are better. But think no country might reach the fully perfect government as it is a hardship to keep country government balance. But one can always hope that every country finds the balance that is need to make a government accepted by the people, since that is one of the key stones, that a government has the acceptens of the people and not just run a country on what they see fits them.
