So, Angela Merkel's immigration policy and destruction of European countries is morally legitimate and right, because she could.

morally? no

legitimate by the sovereignty her own country gives her, yes

So, then, you wouldn't say that legitimacy derives from power.

I absolutely say that,

Ultimately it IS a power game

Merkel isn't a legitimate ruler

in my book

Of course not, she is not of the house of Hohenzollern.

but smart rulers figured out long ago that oppression doesn't last very long,

Its better to try and do right by the people and have them be better off, so they'll love you and wanna keep you in power so you can give them MORE

***CRAZY CATHY ALERT***

and Merkel is a legitimate ruler,

the german cucks should however rise up and protest

oh yeah, Tyrannical Rulers get torn apart by their subordinates within the House

Legitimate ruler = leader of the party elected to form a govt in the UK. Period. 😉

Are we talking about Germany?

Queen Elizabeth is an illegitimate ruler?

unless they tampered the votes and Merkel didn't win the coalition, then Merkel is in fact not legitimate 😄

She's an elected Democratic Leader in a System born out of Regicide

It is an illegitimate system that put her there

Since i'm anti-monarchic, i don't consider any royal family to be legitimate rulers, unless they became king by rite of conquest

```Queen Elizabeth is an illegitimate ruler?```

If she had actual power, yeah

she's head of state. she doesnt actually rule ;P

but most "western" monarchs are symbolic, most wrote away any real government power

The English monarchy has been illegitimate since the time of Cromwell

yup

Hmm? Ah, because they were reinstated by the people?

um, British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, and a few other countries, not just "england" (england being a country that hasnt been an independant political entity since the early 1600s)

I find monarchs in the west disgusting,

They get a royal salary
They're allowed to gain interest,
AND all their expenses are paid for by the government (aka the taxpayers)

So the monarchy is making money, and spending none

I agree, monarchs need to retake control of their national governments. The current structure renders them little more than bloated ticks.

actually after the pact signed by george III they technically lose money

expenses incurred whilst on public duty, or staying in publically owned residences

good

the dutch one is making bank

Monarchs in the West are disgusting tbh

they lose about 210m a year

#notall

if they abdicated the throne they would make a lot more

so, Zuckerberg gonna buy Buckingham Palace in 2030 yes? 😉

hopefully not

that's a messed up vision u just gave me

😄

Thats the thing tho with Monarchies, you cannot buy them unlike Politicians, they already have everything
