This is why monarchies never work as a lasting form of government. Monarchies are only as good as the monarch, which means that they can be very good and also very awful.

Republics never work as a lasting form of government. Republics are only as good as the voters, which means that they can be very good and also very awful. The problem is that there is no reliable way to guarantee an informed, intelligent electorate that cannot be manipulated by unscrupulous demagogues or co-opted by powerful special interest groups with lots of money and lobbyists. Simply counting noses guarantees absolutely nothing.
