It is futile to argue whether the King is good or bad unless people approach the topic with an open mind and there haven't been too many examples of such a thing on this thread or in Sajha in the recent past. Plus, this is one issue where people have deeply held convictions and moral persuasion doesn't often work to change people's minds so even if we did have a spirited discussion about the subject, I doubt much will come out of it. The trend, so far, certainly seems to be pointing to the elimination of the Monarchy. If the King can buck that trend, good for him, otherwise the future of the monarchy, in my opinion, looks pretty bleak at this time.
