I doubt it. Look at Europe, particularly Britain. The Republic may be destroyed, but because it is replaced by a neofascist dictatorship. Neofascism is the future of the West. The PNP and other similar parities are surging across Europe, and the rise of a similar movements in Japan. I sadly think that democracy and free governments have run their course. They have proved incapable of rising to the challenges of the 21st century, thus will fall. Democracies not are generally not workings in this new century. The sad, inevitable result of liberalism, declining morals and rampant irresponsibility. Government by the people requires the highest standards of morality and responsibility. Responsibility and morality seem to have largely disappeared in the west. Thus elected governments will disappear.

I agree.

Republics demand responsibility and morality by the elected officials and by We the People.....sadly, the more the government hands out 'entitlements' the more apathetic the people become and both fall off the course of their required responsibilities.

Well put.

And, probably, far too true.
