I am for thejust world without violence.
I am not for Maharajas and maharanis( kings and queens)
I am for a controlled democracy without any artificial president .
In Germany where i live there is no queen or king but a President which is superficial..
German president has a crisis about his antipathy with transparency and most of the Germans wish to have a democracy without a president which costs annually 30 million Euro( the whole cost)
ff I were a president and wish to keep my job even after the nagative image i would have curtailed my wage/salary to the minimum..
Nelson mandela was a president who had not earned that much of money though his contribution is more.
