Of course, a small number of people holding the power can turn sour (as some in this talkback already argue by mentioning Tyranny), but this report is a direct proof that sometimes it just might work, much better than anything else we have tried already. Ultimately, it boils down to - what will the small group of people do with the power they possess!
My arguments are often about an educated monarchy which, is able to carry out a sound plan for the future of it's nation as a whole, instead of having constant squabble in every single inception due to conflicts of interest. Sometimes having many leaders is not necessarily better than having only one (or few), but made up from the right ingredients. It is a gamble, true, but when it works, it works like magic in every aspect involved.
I so wish people would understand the simple principles these individuals have applied, in hope of securing their countrys place (in the future too) as a dominating energy provider at times when their natural resources will eventually run out.
I might be naive in placing my trust in such noble beginings, but rather do the revolutionary instead of sitting infinitely on the worn-out throne (like a grumpy old man dying of cancer alone), distrusting everything else around him.
