My government (in Europe) has been increasingly worse in the last 30 years (at least).

That's just as bad as a monarchy if not worst. At least the monarchy takes drastic decisions (some good, some bad) but has all the power so they'll be held responsible. Kings still risk being executed or assassinated.

Our governments keep saying they can't do anything because of the system and just keep pushing out laws that make life marginally worse for everyone over decades. Nobody even remembers politicians' name: they collectively risk way less than monarchs (who actually wield power, not expensive and useless stamp models, overpaid by the taxpayers, like the Queen of England)
