King of Tonga Dies

[Hygro]

Way ahead of ya, Hygro.

Except I wasn't making a joke, and wasn't thinking about tango either

He gave up the majority of his power and sold off royal business assets to the public. He pretty much nerfed himself down to only having the power to appoint judges and commute sentences. I'm not sure what your specific problem with him is. He ended up with less power than a life long senator in the US and he willingly gave it up instead of holding on to power.

He was still an unelected monarch. Illegitimate authority doesn't become less illegitimate because you could potentially have even more of it.

I'm surprised you are taking this position.

I'm surprised you are taking this position.

Why's that?

 

[Hygro]

It's just so absolutist for you.

I'm all for monarchs who give up power. Shame he didn't end the monarchy completely...

 

[Benefactor]

I'm all for Monarchs who wear a big jewel encrusted crown all the time. Seriously, what's the point in them otherwise?

well, monarchists seem to think there are more points in them besides wearing big jewel encrusted crowns....
