It would solve absolutely nothing. When Libya was a monarchy, Tripolitania and Fezzan were severely disadvantaged and neglected, because the ruling family was based (and therefore cared only about) in Cyrenaica (and when Gaddafi took power, it was Cyrenaica that was disadvantaged and neglected).

Restore the monarchy, it will result once again in deepening regional divisions. Libya needs a balanced policy, not a return to sectarianism.

And the monarchy wasn't so "stable" after all, since it took a couple of lightly armed lieutenants to get rid off the King in 1969.

Simfan, I fail to see what are you trying to prove by comparing Brazil in 1889 to Libya in 1969.

Pedro II was hugely popular and Brazil was at the peak of its fortunes. Didn't stop the ex-slave owners from overthrowing him. Likewise for Libya.

Implying Idris was as popular as Pedro II Roll Eyes
