No, that is undemocratic to its core.


Monarchs are not supposed to be democratic, they are their own man to rise above politics and to transcend ideological forces. They are a figure who sets an example for us all.

That will give them permanent and absolute control over the province for all of eternity, that is simply not acceptable.

Only other monarchist in the convention is OT, and to my knowledge he hasn't objected to elective monarchy.

Objecting now. I demand the right to institute a hereditary monarchy, even if the dynastic founder must be elected and subsequent monarchs confirmed by a vote in the provincial legislature.

Think of it this way, if the monarchy is the stabilising and uniting force you say it is, the heir of the reigning monarch should have no trouble winning the election on their own. But hereditary is a no-no.

From where I'm standing, the CMP has been forced to give far too much ground already.

Fine, lets hold a convention's vote. If you win, you get hereditary monarchy if we win, we get chief provincial executive who is regularly elected. Do we have deal?

This is exceptional circumstances, we have spent far too much time on division of state... its time to hold a vote and move on.

We have spent rather more time than strictly necessary on just about every topic, to be fair.

Mainly because the leftists refuse to negotiate or compromise.

Which is why we should get a move on... by holding more votes. Which is why, I am suggesting we hold a vote on monarchy issue.

I don't see why we need to vote, most people want an elected monarch that is below the federal government.
