[QUOTE="Observer, post: 26834, member: 576"] [b]Re: Future Governments[/b] Dang Ironside100, you DO have some free time for esoteric thought! You must work for the same people I do... I think you are right. Monarchies seem to be the longest lasting type of government (though there are many different varieties of them currently present in the world, Heck my wife's country is a socialist state with a monarchy. GO FIGURE. I think it is still a natural instinct for humans to follow a "Leader". Whether it is small scale group dynamics or grander and larger national arenas. They (we) want a ruler, with a name and a face. Someone whjo broadly appeals to the masses. Strong, but "Fair". Strong...hmmm...against what? What can possibly drive a nation together, putting most if not all political differences aside to follow one leader...heck, even the Roman emperors kept around a senate. Made the yokels happy. (Actually, I think only the merchant class really loved them) I would not blink twice if an empire with an honest to goodness Emperor were to appear sometime in the next 100 or so years. King is not enough. Dictator, too much of one mans personal ideology. He dies (or is killed, the government collapses....ala banana republic). Look at how long Rome lasted. Three times as long as the USA. From a Kingdom, to a Republic, to an Empire...to extinction. Kings came back. Vicious circle begins again. This is my personal bleary eyed reply, up WAY too late at night/early morning, this is the chit-chat area, right? Jim [/QUOTE]
