so good?" Member since:  Well, considering that it can really
suck when a bad ruler comes into absolute power... but still,
given the crap chute we're making of things lately maybe an
absolute ruler wouldn't be so bad. That being said, is the
Netherlands a true monarchy? I don't believe it is, as they have
a parliamentary government as well, so what's the monarch's
purpose? Figurehead?  Reply Parent Score: 3
