Re: Political Orientation
English nationalist by ideology. I believe in democracy as a political system, although sometimes I do wish for the strong leadership that a fascist government has.
My Anglo-Saxon ancestors had a form of government often termed "democratic-monarchy". The king was elected by sacral rite. This meant that anyone of royal blood was an Atheling or prince. When the old king died the Witenagemot, council, would meet and elect a new king based on merit. Only a foolish king would ignore the views of the Witan, and he would soon be a dead king!
