I think that's called a monarchy.

Sorry for this one G.K.Ch., but methinks the true democracy is when a good righteous Catholic monarh is the one who rules.

I don’t think Chesterton was actually endorsing democracy. He was intimating that “democracy” is really just a ruse to mask oligarchy.

I believed that too. I hope so, at least.
