Don't get all caught up in the pompous, effete, élitist Villiers. He also wants to bring back the Monarchy.

I'd give you a different take.

Villiers has been a fringe character, but he looked quite good in the "Non" debate.

This is another push at a certain agenda.

I think he is a man to watch in politics, because the established hierarchy has no answers and everyone knows it.

His particular anti-Turkish, limit immigration approach has a base that, until now, has only had the odious Jean-Marie Le Pen as vocal leader. Villiers does not have the negatives of Le Pen.

Yes, he is marginal, but he keeps pushing the right buttons, and when the majors are so inept as Chi-chi and Dominiquette are, there is the possibility that Villiers could emerge. Personally, I expect him to.

But we shall see.

What is so wrong with a country having a King or a Queen, if that Sovereign is benevolent, wise and righteous ?

A functioning Republic could still possibly have a Sovereign King to act as an advisor and spiritual anchor I believe. Every nation needs it's wise people to hold the very fabric of the universe together.

A benevolent, enlightened monarchy that is limited in power can be a good thing for a nations people. Without guidance a nation can get into real trouble.
