preferred type of government?

[Sentimental Gentleman]

I am almost entirely apolitical in the conventional sense, because I believe that no system can truly regulate the human soul; our true laws are to be found in our hearts and minds, and it is only when these change that our systems change. But this is also because my ideal government is utterly impracticable.

I would prefer to be governed by a theocratic monarchy; that is to say a temporal power that is a perfect representation of the divine will. My one political goal was articulated by (of all people) the popular singer Tiny Tim when he said that "most of all, I'd love to see Christ come back to crush the spirit of hate and make men put down their guns." I understand "Christ" not in the obvious sense of "Jesus" but in its true (to me) sense as "the anointed one," that is, He or She who is chosen by and descended from God at any given time to reflect the divine will. Such a figure is the only one with the legitimate right to rule over humanity and, possessed of the infinite mercy and kindness of the God that He or She is the child of, would be capable of curing all of the ills that beset humanity and restoring us to the harmony our divided souls yearn for.

So...basically I'm saying that Princess Celestia is pretty much the ideal representation of what I think a government should be.

It should be obvious why this is utterly impractical, however; it's certainly obvious to me. I don't hold any illusions about us discovering a true Son or Daughter of God...such a thing could never be agreed upon, it would cause only strife, and in all likelihood any who we believed to be such a divine figure would merely be a fallible human, and his or her deification would bring only more ill and suffering upon us. But as a dream above and beyond the concrete mechanisms of politics, I think it has value.
