At this point, I can't see how any form of government that allows the masses to vote could work at all. The masses are too gullible, controllable and too easily swayed. Maybe having certain requirements to vote like the U.S. used back when it was started could still work, but I don't know. Lately I've been thinking democracies and republics are too easily subverted and hard to remove if needed. At least with a monarchy, a leader can be removed quicker and "easier," especially if the populace is armed.
