Sure I don't like them a bit either. But it's the only thing that holds the country together. Because the king/queen has to be (or appear to be) impartial, he's the one who appoint ministers.

With all the eurocrats there I'd suggest building an indestructible thousand mile high wall around it and filling it with water. Purging a concentration of politicians/burro-crats that dense would do the rest of the planet a great service. :laugh:
