Maybe they’re onto something. What if, instead of voting for people based on their ideals and record, we just passed leadership down through bloodline? Has anyone tried that before?

    Based on primogeniture, wouldn’t that mean Don Jr is taking over? Then Eric? Clearly, the girls would be skipped…

    So does this mean Barron is going to kill his brothers to ascend the throne?

    Some cultures embraced the concept of ultimogeniture, under the premise that the youngest child would be raised with the full benefit of wiser parents and inherit younger, but generally not too young.

    It's apparently pretty effective when the culture encourages the youngest child to stay home as a caretaker for their parents, but in terms of kingdom inheritance can cause problems.

    UK here just saying that if you want a monarchy, we've got a decent one (as monarchies go) that won't try to financially rape the peasants to death, we've moved past that now.

    What say you Americans, ready to become Canada 2: Empire Boogaloo?
