You don't think monarchs scam people or rig economic systems?
I'm guessing you've never heard of Mohammad Bin Salmen.
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.
Since the King ratified the Basic Law of Governance in 1992.
Relabel him a Constitutional Monarch, though. Suddenly he's a good idea again?
How is that any different from a popular president operating without term limits? Or a popular party that consistently holds the majority of seats in government?
Is the little gold hat adding something I can't see? Or do you just like the pomp and circumstance of royalty?
The French spent nearly a century jumping back and forth between popular revolution and bourbon restoration. Was that more predictable?
How about the War of the Roses? Or the numerous Seljuk wars of succession in Iraq and Persia? Or the Taiping Rebellion?
Inflexible monarchies prompted each of these social catastrophes.
The Roman Imperial Era was rife with instability, with Rome violently changing hands multiple times in a given year.
That's far more unpredictable than a Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama-Trump-Biden hand off, particularly when so much of the "deep state" doesn't really change.
