At least our eternal dictator is benevolent · 8:46pm Nov 25th, 2013
MFW canon Equestria is less democratic than dystopia NFC Equestria.
Although to be honest, when Twilight become Acting Supreme Princess, everything probably goes on as normal. In fact, who needs princesses? Down with the monarchy!
Then again, responsibility for government might have gone to Prince Blueblood while she was out fixing things.
Maybe the only people on the ballot each year were Discord, Luna, and Celestia. Then Luna sort of split the vote and Discord ended up winning.
Cut to one term later and society as a whole is like, "Welp."
Divine right to rule, bitch! Don't question the scepter.

Your alive!
You should join Tyrant Sparkle.
I really wouldn't be surprised if any of the writers (and maybe storyboarders) on the show just went with a complete dictatorship in the background where the children won't notice.
Personally, a truly benevolent dictator isn't a bad thing. After all,dictator just means you have supreme power, not how you use it. She's also a tyrant, but then again so is the PotUS as neither are of Noble blood.
And the PotUS wasn't chosen by the universe to be a literal embodiment of good so...
Haha idk if you saw my post on your wall asking for more blog posts but thanks so much anyways! l its always great hearing from you! You should do this more often :D
To my understanding, a wise ruler has a council of advisers. A good king doesn't need to know anything save for knowing who knows what.
Have, say, a foreign affairs adviser, one for economic issues, one for domestic disputes, one for the education system, one for the military, etc.
The ruler only would really need to make an important decision when two of their requirements would interfere with each other.
Point being, if the ruler is missing, they continue to run by rule of this council until the ruler's return. Simply don't act on any issues that would go against each other until the ruler can make a decision.
That being said, I have no real idea on how Equestria goes about their distribution of authority.
Im scared! Hold me.
Then again Blueblood may actually have been the pony she puts in charge of the throne while she is on diplomatic trips, and he has been really good at keeping things running while she was out of country during the times when Luna was still banished.
I guess that could be his saving grace. Interim government management.
Erm, my acronyms aren't up to date. What is MFW and NFC?
