From The Mad Monarchist (13 January 2012)
"A republican form of government is not suited to the Italian people. They are not prepared for it either temperamentally or historically. In a republic every Italian would insist upon being President, and the result would be chaos. The only people who would profit would be the Communists".
-HM King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy
A weakness of republicanism which is often forgotten.
