We can't restore european monarchies because the social class that formed its backbone has mostly disappeared and the ones left are horrifically degenerate. "Fascist dictatorship" is a terrible form of government that leads to mismanagement and catastrophe. A complex system of checks and balances similar to the US constitution will probably be needed.

I think this isn't that big of an issue though, as the reconquest of Europe is naturally going to lead to the emergence of a new legitimate ruling class. The form of government will have to be designed pragmatically and we still can't know what the circumnstances will be. The most important thing by far is to ensure long-term legitimacy and stability.

"Checks and balances" is a liberal meme designed to cripple politics in favour of money power. The separation of powers prevents any political element from exercising sovereignty while at the same time allowing the rich to buy out all of the political institutions and control them from behind the scenes.

Sucks how the European aristocracy became so poisoned over time. Doubt any of them would even take power given the opportunity judging by what happened to Spain.

As far as I can tell, the European upper classes are completely spineless. They all basically do what middle class journalists tell them "the people" would want them to do, and they're very zealous in accomplishing this duty, too. When these people have any sense of dignity at all, they occupy themselves with supporting liberal causes like "world heritage", "social causes", financial ventures or perhaps peacekeeping when it comes to military service.
