> "Any representative body would do better than a corporate monarchy."

In theory I wanna agree with you, but in practice, "representative bodies" often represent their corporate masters far more than they do the will of the people.

It's a complex topic to really dig into, but I think you can at least say this briefly: Representative bodies at least have the potential to cooperatively work to their constituent's benefit. A monarchy can only be forced to do so out of fear.
