    the winner with absolute power is the one who can scam people and rig the system

    You don’t think monarchs scam people or rig economic systems?

    I’m guessing you’ve never heard of Mohammad Bin Salmen.

    a family which legally holds all of the power and supreme military authority but delegates it to a democratic system

    A political fiction. The British Royals reserve the right to block legislation and routinely get their way simply by threatening to do so.

    The Saudis and the Singaporese are even more naked in their disregard for democratic rule.

    And we all know how the dictatorial governorship of Hong Kong ended. China quite literally bought the governor out.

      Since when was Mohammed Bin Salman a constitutional monarch? Your two examples on why constitutional monarchy is bad uses countries that aren’t constitutional monarchies.

      If we’re doing this, I may as well show how Vladimir Putin is an example of why a democratically elected president is a bad idea. The advantage with a monarch is that you’re rolling the dice every 20-30 years (70 in the case of Elizabeth II) and you know who the next person is. If they were truly evil there’d be enough time to stop them from coming up and depose them. With an elected president it’s unpredictable, every 5-10 years, and it’s not obvious who’d replace them either.
