But it doesn't include bringing back Kings.
This is why examples are important. You can't coclude "the world just doesn't want to listen to ideas, however, good" if the ideas , are in fact, terrible.
As a Brit, you already have a king/queen in your country.
Details are important as well as examples, and I'm not in the business of simply bringing back empowered kings. In the system I discussed the role mostly is about being a cool figurehead, not so terribly different from what you have now (though the king would be elected from among the re-invented Aristocracy in a meritocratic way, and therefore be better at the role than what you have now -- and it is of course true that the discussed system would be about bringing back the nobility in a genuinely empowered way).
And it's not paradise on Earth.
How does that work? If an aristocrat's offpsring are crap, do they get thrown out of the aristocracy? If so, how does that differ from meritocracy?
I believe this comment thread is not the proper place to discuss the details of my proposal.
(Also I believe the page linked earlier answers those specific questions.)
I've read it, and I believe it doesn't..
Regardless, I wish to not take over (a part of) this comment thread by discussing this thing in detail.
If further comments from me on the matter are in demand, contacting me through some other means is a better option.
