By Odin's beard, that's awful
It would be really funny if a monarchist party rose to power and reintroduced monarchy through democratic means.
Would any nation whish to reintroduce monarchism? Sincere question, I have no idea and since I live in a monarchy not many people is happy with it...
I don't see why not. At least not a ceremonial monarch. There are advantages to having a ceremonial head of state being inherited rather than elected. And there are lots of constitutional monarchies today were the majority of the voters want to keep it that way (which could of course simply be an example of status quo bias). Personally, I shudder at the thought of any Swedish politician being the head of state, and our current king is a dyslexic who goes to striptease shows so that's saying a lot.
My avatar is a statue of a famous Swedish peasant rebel leader who opposed Gustav Vasa, by the way.
