RE: But the USA elects a king every 4 years

Posted by jamesgarvin on August 30, 2007 at 07:00:24:
"THe black population of Britain has only really been statistically significant for 50 years."

Let's not forget that until the mid 60's, a scant forty years ago, black people's right to vote was somewhat limited in the South. It was not that long ago racial murders were taking place.

"But the USA elects a king every 4 years"

Elect is the operative word here.

"Systems that elect parliaments to rule are closer to democracy than presidential ones, in my opinion."

With the major distinction being that the Prime Minister is not elected by the people, but rather by the representatives the people elect. Sort of like Congress electing the President.

"Monarchy does not actually necessitate an inherited title."

I am not sure what you mean here.
