I think a parilamentary constitutional monarchy might be a good way to go:  After all, several nations that are near the top of lists of things like health, happiness, income equality & freedom are under such governments (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands), so such systems of government obviously work, and while Twilight or some other alicorn would still be Princess of Equestria, her authority would be balanced by an elected parliament of every other sentient creature in Equestria, which would give the representation you were talking about.


Cozy glow was artificial and crazy, nightmare moon was a one time thing, and flurry heart is a good kid. TWILIGHT IS A GREAT LEADER SO HOW CAN THIS BE A DICTATORSHIP!!!!!!!!


I wonder how much fun sawtooth waves had while making this vid. I luv your vids! :3


The question of why the ponies haven't tried to replace the autocracy of a democracy really is very simple.  They're happy.  They have no reason to change a system that isn't broken.  Twilight is a benevolent dictator.  Same applied to Celestia.  She stays in power by keeping the ponies happy.  They don't decide to replace the current political system because they have no reason to.  Honestly the idea of Equestria overthrowing the monarchy never made any sense to me.


Sawtooth really kinda roasted Twilight 😂😅


Me: Looks back on this 1:50

Also me: Truly beautiful


Well, I kinda think a Constitutional monarchy is rather fitting.

Over in the UK (I am a Brit abroad at the mo) there is both a monarchy and a government, but both are positions of power. However, under a constitutional monarchy (if my research had served me correctly) then technically Equestria can have both. While the monarchy will no longer have the final legal say (god, that bit about ‘divine appointment’ really rings alarm bells for our earlier system of appointing. Notoriously, Charles I ruled very precariously, but he was convinced that because he was appointed by God, he was therefore entitled to the throne and therefore could do as he pleased. And we all know how that turned out...) they will still be considered ‘Head of State’. While the monarchy would still be there, it would be as a symbol of stability and pride to the land, whereas the citizens would be given the right to vote for various legislation (and also vote for a variety of PM candidates, which would also create an interesting discussion on various political parties and what they’d entail in the MLP universe).

Basically, you can have a monarch and a Parliament. You can’t choose the monarch (the proceeding monarchs are decided by the monarch in power at the time. Even then, within the confines of natural monarchy progression (i.e the firstborn of the monarch would be the one to receive the throne, whereas the ‘Royal Consort’ (the husband/wife of the monarch (think Queen Elisabeth II and Prince Phillip. There’s a reason he’s ‘Prince’ and not ‘King)) would be less likely, unless all prior candidates for the throne pass before them)), but you can pretty much choose everything else.

TL;DR - bit of a history lesson, rambled into irl monarchy progression, Constitutional Monarchy is probably best for Equestria.


I think i disagree cause every time i watch my little pony i notice that it was the princess who chooses the next ruler.
Example:
              Celestia was observing Twilight very well thats when Celestia saw the potential that Twilight possesses maybe thats how Twilight became the new ruler

Just like when Twilight was observing her best student(Luster Dawn) and who knows maybe Luster Dawn will be next ruler

This is just my opinion😁😄


There's a flaw with this though; how would Earth ponies or other creatures be able to move the sun and Moon as well as go in the dream dimension to take care of everyone?


But what if creatures get forced by magic to vote for someone unsuitable?


Lol nice Monty Python reference at the beginning. Also to be fair, Cozy Glow was never a true alicorn, she was made one by Grogar's bell. Also Flurry Heart can't be used as a counterargument against alicorns being generally competent and intelligent because she's just a baby. No one would look at a human infant and say "yup humans are idiots".


Watches the opening

Bucking BRILLIANT! I have that ENTIRE SCENE memorized!

*Watches the opening*

Bucking BRILLIANT! I have that ENTIRE SCENE memorized!


I thought equestria only extends from the all the way to the north (Crystal empire) to the south (appleloosa/saddle arabia). Meaning ponies were really the only population. But since every creature technically migrated to the country/kingdom of equestria; I guess you are right. Man the future sucks, call me racist but the biodiversity in the population is disturbing. #keep ponies pure


no just! no!!!! the reason it is set up like this is so that no one can take the thrown if they are evil. and the reason she is in charge was because Queen Celestia legit groomed Twilight for the thrown otherwise we would have discord or any other bad guy ruling over them. Queen Celestia didn't just pick her out of random. Twilight possessed all of the qualities of a ruler. She had the intelligence, the capability to grow, and learn. Her character as a person showed potential for leadership, wisdom, and the other qualities of the friendship harmony. The other reason is that the other species that live in this world have their own respectfully on countries. (I am going to admit I haven't seen season 9) But the reason other species are living in harmony is because of her. She is literally the Queen of Friendship! If she is removed from status to rule over she wouldn't be able to keep the peace and prosperity that Queen Celestia has worked for. Also, it is not like Queen Celestia had a child to raise and groom to rule. Like Flurry Heart. Someone has to maintain equality as well. That's the reason Luna and Celestia ruled together. Night and day working in harmony. Since other kingdoms were welcomed as friends doesn't it make sense that Queen Twilight of Friendship lead and guide others? Mayor Mare legit was made for her job too. She even briefly talked about her cute mark and how it just fits with her job. In a world designed where things are not acquiescence dictatorship isn't a question. another example is Sombra, he was meant to be evil his name means shadow and ends up a dark evil shadow seeking revenge. without him, Twilight probably wouldn't have learned an important lesson and could have derailed her path of becoming queen. And Flurry Heart wouldn't be connected to the Crystal Heart. See that's why it shouldn't be a Democracy. It was designed that way. (sorry if I miss spelled and punctuation I wrote this at 2 in the morning. If you have any questions just reply back)


if twilight loses, what would be her role now? if there is another group of psychopaths that will terrorize everyone for their lust for power, twilight is the one with the most firepower


Considering how easy it is to rail up and manipulate ponies(like cozy glow did or caballeron in daring done or the villains prior to the finale) I can totally see someone selfish and evil winning the elections.


honestly i think the only reason it isnt this way is because a kingdom is considered more fantasy like than a nation


Might makes right, so, unless the ponies can overpower an unpopular alicorn ruler without using another alicorn, their hooped. Look at the season 9 finale, they won but in the end all power had to go to Twilight so she could use it to defeat the enemies. It was only after they were depowered that Discord and the Princesses could turn them to stone. The question is what would happen if Twilight doesn't want to do what other ponies want? If she decides not to do something she has effectively vetoed the will of the ponies, and only if there is a way to get it done despite what she wants she rules as a dictator and no pony can do anything. And if they get another alicorn to help depose them the new alicorn takes Twilight's place and be that alicorn good or bad you still have an alicorn dictatorship.


This is the best Monthy Python reference I've ever seen so far.


I think that Twilight should have a council with different creatures like griffins and changelings


The beginning part is just 👌
Edit: *BOOP*


cozy is very good at lying and telling everyone what they want to hear


“No single creature can represent the whole population”
Wrong

Changeling can represent the whole population because they can change their form who knows maybe a Changeling will become the leader of Equestria and change it’s form to look like an Alicorn griffin seapony hippogriff Changeling hybrid


i do have a few questions though, there are other civilians of non-pony creatures. the changlings don’t have a yak leader. why would equestria give it’s mostly pony population to someone like ember if the dragon lands are not going to elect a pony leader? do you see a possibility of all leaders coming together to turn their lands into a democracy? you don’t have to respond, i just wanted to get these questions out there lol


But do you really think the villains would listen to these rules?

 “ yeah no thanks “

But do you really think the villains would listen to these rules?

 “ *yeah no thanks* “


A Representant for each species. Each can be chosen through democracy.


What we need is a competent, good, and smart leader who can represent all creatures in equestrian.....
Fluttercord I'm looking at you, I WANT BABIES AT ANY COST
Heehehehehehehhe


Tis but a flesh wound!! XD <br>Nice Monty Python joke at the beginning Saw.

Tis but a flesh wound!! XD
Nice Monty Python joke at the beginning Saw.


I mean, i agree with that... but the whole voting system hasn’t really worked all that much for America as of recent years. God knows how bad it could get if that same system was implemented to Equestria. Could you imagine Spoiled rich as the ruler of Equestria?


I hate how much this is true because I LOVE TWILIGHT!!


I wonder why twilight ends up looking like celestia when she grows up unlike all the other mane 5 that didn't grow looking like celestia with that long neck and even longer legs. I mean the mane 5 basically has the same age as twilight yet they end up looking normal. Does giving you powers make your legs longer? Even though twilights's parents look nothing like celestia so she didn't inherit her parents looks. Did the creators of this cartoon got lazy and just traced celestia and changed it only a little bit? Honestly, cartoon logic ;^;


Why does a representative have to look like the people they represent?  This is some leftist college bullshit if I've ever heard it lmao.

Twilight represents the IDEALS of the people she represents.  Diversity of thought is the only diversity that is important.  She doesn't have to look like a dragon, look like a yak, etc. to understand and forward the things they care about and their ideas.  On top of that those creatures aren't a monolith, they care about different things as the griffons have clearly shown.  Would Gallus be a good representation of what griffons want?  What about Gilda? or Gabby?

Looking like someone doesn't mean you share their ideals, that's why people should vote based on policies and why ultimately they probably would vote Twilight or one of her friends because they have befriended so many different communities.

That's why democracy works.


She's a monarch. Monarchies worked for thousands of years. Monarchs are also central to fantasy stories. Monarchies are not inherently corrupt. Democracies are not fair by default either, in fact, it could be argued rather effectively that democracies have caused more harm to people than monarchs have. Calling Twilight a 'dictator' is absolutely outrageous, ignorant, and illustrative of a vapid and hateful worldview against cultures you don't understand.


Princess Celestial when the world is in trouble: Ok I saved the world before and I’m too lazy so I’m gonna leave 6 teenagers to save it LMAOO


I think twilight is similar to the queen of England. She rules England, but there are many people that are from around the world living in the country. This is an idea that came in my mind


Putting human values onto another civilization is always a mistake. Horses are a herd species, so even an intelligent species would prefer a single herd leader. Alicorns are the best choice only because they are an amalgamate of the three (Of 5) species and are the ones most likely to have the power to protect their subjects.  Also, though they have "talks", no one thinks the ponies rule all Equestria, else why would they keep sending diplomats to resolve issues between the species?


Why not making a constitutional Monarchy with a Parliament and a ruler from which both of them hold equal Power. The Parliament is elected which then elects a chancellor who hold as much power as the Monarch.

Edit: Im sorry for misspelling some words if I have, im a German and for that English isn‘t my first language.

Solution: Put discord in charge, he’s a little bit of everything, and he’s just about as wacky as any politician. Problem solved. (Don’t actually take that seriously, him being in charge would be an absolute disaster. XD)


She does have a limit to rule Equestria since she has a pupil just like Celestia choose her


If there's anything from 2020 America and Britain, it's that democracy and intersectionality without regulation ends in chaos.


tbh, it’s true Twilight would appear to be a dictator. But dictatorship doesn’t always mean it’s corrupt. In the first movie of Equestria girls, at the end Principal Celestia tells Twilight, “A true leader in any world rules not by forcing others to bow before her, but by inspiring others to stand with her.” which means Twilight is a reliable and capable ruler. (Cozy Glow wouldn’t really count as an Alicorn since they were just a powered up look by Grogar’s bell)


I think that alicorns rule just because they are litteral god's in flesh.
And seems that they handle it very well since the only thing that might cause their kingdom problem is another powerful being (like Discord, Tirek, Chrysalis etc).
And local problems just handles by local authority.

Sooo. Since alicorns are immortal and omnipotent there ain't gonna be another type of ruler who could replace them.
My point that we can't compare people's rulership and ponies' since people are always equal and ponies are not.

Thanks for vid anyway!


No, I like how it is. I can’t stand politics


monty python i see! a man of good culture


0:37 i hate that monty python reference but also love it at the same time


to be honest not all that you say is true at moment; 1:45 want to point to cozy glow for evidance she became a alicorn when she was infused with the magic from grogar meaning she did not become an alicorn by as you made a theroy stars wirl the bearded enchanment, her alicorn status was not only temperary but also not from the alicorn status bron of starswirls spell. therefor she can not be caled an alicorn. she was never even close to a princess unless you cont the moment the villains were about to winn wich i dont couse not only did the mane 5 escape but also the student 6 and other students from the school of magic were working on uniting the other creatures and that was a big part of the winn against cozy at wich point i wauld like to point once again she was returned to a regular pegasus. the point is cozy was never a alicorn princess so you can not (in my mind) use her alicorn status as prove to a theroy this way. i do love the video further this smal peace just anoyed me a lot


Equestria should be a Republic if they can keep it... 😉


They should have changelings in high positions such as advisor because They can change into anything therefor representing everything


Sir I don't think equestria requires a democracy because as celestia chosed  twilight to become the ruler as she thought that twilight is capable for that position. In the same way twilight will also choose a capable pony and make her/him the ruler. And that pony will also choose a   good and capable pony and the process will go on


acctualy the real reason alicorns are the ones that rule is cause they are the most powerful like if somepony tried to take over equestria alicorns can still try to defeat them cause if the villian could fly alicorns can fly aswell if they have magic alicorns have magic too


Bro I left mlp for 1 year and this girly turns into some super queen magic thing

And let’s talk about spike

He’s a muscled wing dragon-


That is not how it works because if a queen or king or whatever dies or steps down from the monarchy, the next one in line steps down but if there are multiples in line or whatever and don’t know who to choose they go by the eldest next in line but for example princess Luna and Celestia decides to step down from the thrones and retire. But cadence is older than twilight. But Cadence can not rule all of Equestria because she rules the crystal empire. And twilight is older than flurryheart. So that means twilight is head of Equestria’s monarchy! And dictators are 🤪 loco!


Twilight does not rule over any other kingdom othrer than the pony one and generaly speaking most of the other creatures live in their own kingdoms with their own rulers, the idea that she has any authority over the dragons is laughable.


How to get arrested on the first day in equestria


Yeah but the other creatures have their own kingdoms


ROFL! This is so funny! No, the concept of voting is not something very well known outside of Western culture here in Humestria. There has been England, and those who came after, who saw the benefits of parliamentary government, such as the US, who has no royalty behind their voting system. But before that point? The Ancient Greeks were said to have a democracy, which only lasted a couple Centuries at best. glances over suspiciously at the US But really, other than those few examples people were ruled by dictators, whether they were monarchs, "chairmen," shudders or what have you. Frankly, such a concept would be quite alien to a world that hasn't had the opportunity to experience it. It'd be a nice improvement to Equestria, but honestly, I think the risk of corruption of one person is much better than what we currently deal with -- which is corruption throughout our government system. After all, humanity has dealt with tyrants for thousands of years; dealing with corrupted democracies which was forcibly changed to that of Communism? Well, you already see how much power Russia, North Korea, and China have right now....

she/they are dictators:<br>me: i know. always has been

she/they are dictators:

No they are not Imperialism does not =Dictadors..
Too sad the only examples you have are Russia and China different from this illusion of Democracy..and yes Both Russia and China are dictadorships
But by all no efin means allicorns are Dictators!


I think it's oppressed instead of repressed


The Diarchy/Monarchy holds the highest power in Equestria, but citizens and immigrants alike enjoy a level of self-determination that makes the rulership of Alicorns a minor aspect of their day to day lives. So does changing the system do anything useful when the leadership is a already self-proven dynasty of heroines?


I think everyone should be able to rule!


Please, someone dub over twilights shut up with a URASAI! from like taiga or some tsundere it fits so well


I say no because 1. Your forgeting that they all live in different lands but the clip only shows them visting Equestria 2. Flurry Heart was maybe born an alicorn but in flurry emotions she was incredible smart and magical for a filly, she created a barrier for crying out loud . 3. The only reason why they’re alicorns is not representation of the 3 tribes even though that’s helpful but its because how much magic they possess . Like honestly if you can raise the sun and moon all by yourself then of course you should be an alicorn, plus they were also taught by the magical sorcerer Starswirl the Bearded. 4. Also for Twilights case her cutie mark is magic so it would make sense she end up all Celestia and Luna. Also don’t forget she magical recreated the magical spark of the “Elements of Harmony” which were destroyed by the way!!


when adults take a kids show too seriously


I think Twilight should make starlight a Princess but what would she be the Princess of?


This sounds heresy against our God-Empress Daybreaker. Grand inquisitor sunrise sparkle has been informed and is sending for the solar guard. Sol Invicta.

What about Twilight’s student Luster Dawn. It isn’t clear if she is Starlight and Sunburst daughter. What do you think?


I wonder if Celestia and Luna would become normal size


If any one else can’t do that then they wouldn’t make a good ruler


We should have other creatures holding the throne since the lands are pony lands and they have their own lands to-

... wait. Uh.... Uhhhhhhhhhhh.....


I don't think that Twilight necessarily a dictator. She didn't become the ruler out of force. Celestia bestowed on to her being a princess.


Talk about another reason to hate Flurryheart. WE HAD A SYSTEM DANG IT!


Twilight can’t be a dictator because of the counsel of friendship.

A dictator is a single ruler who has complete control over their country. Twilight’s rule is not absolute, because she discusses decisions with her friends, and I doubt that Twilight would completely ignore her friends’ advice and do what she wants. I mean, what would be the point of the counsel if she did that, haha.

You do have really interesting points though, Equestria needs to do some thinking.

ladybug Fanart

1) There’s no need to be rude about the video

2) I’m not sure if I misunderstood you, but I’m saying that they aren’t dictators, and I’m pretty sure you are too?? I don’t know if you are trying to debate or agree.

3) Celestia being a goddess is fanon. Alicorns are not immortal, they just live longer than other ponies.

Bottom line is: they can’t be dictators, no biggie.

Except not really.this video is flawed and down right stupid written by a Deviantart Changeling obsessed Cryssalis fan with a pony skin on him

1)Everyone is allowed to Grow they go to schools that expand their Knowledge and discover their true talents thus themselves never heard of a Dictadorship System that supports self discovery
2)A society that promotes freedom of though and  everyone to get along,With guards enforcing law ONLY if the laws are broken..also CELESTIA HAS/HAD A FREAKING SCHOOL..Dictators DONT make school to Teach they make them to indoctronate and before you say What about every phrase being "celestia" based...Celestia is legit not just a Princess but an EFIN GODDESS
Is not a case of a MORTAL rulling a nation is an Immortal Goddes that can raise the Sun and somewhat control the moon.its not more different than ANY RELIGION EVER.


Muuuuuu I see the future now twilight is a DICTATOR 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯


well if she is then she's not like those evil ones in the movies.  she's a good one.

I’m starting to think that Mlp is some how look like Europe history. Cause it has something really explaining why ONLY ALICORN should rule Equestria.    Sorry. My English bad. :(


Do you not know what can go wrong with that. We're already having trouble with people wanting to break apart OUR government if they become president.


Well , she may be a dictator , but she is a good one , not in a sence where she's good at being a dictator , but good as a person so to speak , even tho she's a pony , she's not a dictator like the president of north korea


erm other creatures have their own kingdom remember? why should they get a chance to rule ponies :|


Uhhh we know she’s ruler but she not bossy


i want princess as the rulers always UvU


One thing HOW CAN A BABY BE INTELLIGENT?!!!!! Andddddd cozy glow took discord power to become a alicorn!!!!

Technically Cozy became an alicorn due to the power of Grogar's bell not Discord's chaotic power. She was an alicorn when Tirek, Chrysalis and her took Discord's magic with the use of the bell.


I hate it how twilight gets to be tall and has a cool main cuz shes princess and her friends are designed as old hags and their not princesses .-.

hitler, mussolini, and twilight sparkle?


I think they should not have a voting or elective I mean all leader should be more powerful then other the allicorns are more powerful unicorn kinda I guess you know that the most powerful unicorn the wizard he got tired of that raising the sun and moon then the two little girls Luna and Celestia I know it's hard for them to raise it to but now it's easy for them they should not have a voting because if other then equestria is fail so alicorns supposed to rule


U.S.A see way this is so funny but in the stqrting 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


What about the cutie mark crisaters eath pony apple bloom scootaloo peagisis and i for got unicorn? She could be a alocorn


Twilight is not like that I don’t know why all of u doing these fake story’s!


The show is basically promoting North Korean Propaganda and being a criminal. Twilight has no limits to spending of bits, and basically gets everything she wants. It’s odd how she got the power because she didn’t deserve it.


I do find it kinda wierd as only alicorsns can rule olso no princes...WIERD!


Cough cough trump cough by that ppl can be stuiped when it comes to voteing


I love this video and I hear what you're saying! But, we must remember that unless Twilight went insane, she wouldn't rule with an iron hoof!

Also, I missed you're videos! <3


I love how some people can still  over-analize a show about colorful magical small talking equines, pls keep doing it


The reference to the quest for the holy grail was AMAZING


Love how they opened this with a Monty Python reference


This reminds me of the electoral process that the Kingdom of Acorn took up to maintain peace and stability in the Archie Sonic Comics. King Elias Acorn and Sir Amadeus Prower set up the Council of Acorn composed of the Leading Royal Monarch and six ordinary citizens elected by the people who all share as much power over the kingdom as the Monarchy itself. Any laws, changes or policies must be agreed upon by a majority vote from the council.


Okay the opening to the video alone earned a sub. Video itself deserves 10,000💙


Well I sure hope that ponies get equal representation in other kingdom's as well then. If a Yak can lead Equestria then a pony should be able to lead the Dragon Lands.


but after saving Equestria a trillion times (counting on those crazy turns in time) the least she could receive is to be the queen, she also has the support of the people, in fact she does not govern alone, she has the Council Of Friendship (Spike and Mane 6) so she is far from being a dictator


I think a changeling is a pretty good option for only one ruler, because they can take the form of every creature, so they can take a look what it takes to be this kind of animal and they could help every individuum with their ability xD


Essentially if I recall correctly Equestria falls into a multitude of modern-day versions of rule. To say it's one way or another is actually kinda hard because we don't actually know the basis of the actual system and how it works. We do see things in the show like, nobles that need to be talked to. Along with The minor interactions themselves. But I think the only actual fully 100% full control monarchy would probably be the Crystal Empire. And even outside of that we really don't know.
I think the hardest function to understand is that it's so out and about when it comes to what it is solely as. Like there is Monarchy indeed (which i'm more partial to anyway so I'm fine with that.) but with how some people have brought up, there is also the aspect of the noble houses which have to sway over what is said and done. Is this a normal monarchy, yes? It's a form of it. Where they even have a mayor which I'm assuming is elected in ponyville and I can only assume other locations which take that away from that only made monarchy.
Equestria is probably more like a Federation, with different powers and government types all falling under one federal authority (Be it Celestia and Luna or Twilight and her schedules.) So it's like pseudo-Federal Kingdom of sorts.
Also, we must keep in mind that no matter the government type, there are both good and horrible leaders in it. We just are generally forced to remember the horrible ones more than the good ones. Also, Elections can be controlled and corrupted. In fact looking at real-world countries we can clearly see how much this falls apart. You can brainwash your citizens in believing their votes only matter if they vote for say 2 parties. Or you can make it seem like no other group matters because they can't be voted for. You can control the entire system to make it where all that occurs falls into your hand. You could even run a secret government behind all the scenes and call all the shots. Overall, there is no "right" system of government. Merely what works for the people you are with. Another massive issue with Democracy also falls into when you need decisions made now. You can't. Unless you veto it through the problem will stand that you can be road blocked on even the most needed of systems.
If they did a psuedo-Federal Kingdom/Empire they would be fine(which i see it as anyways). Each species would still have their own representatives, and if or if not may get what they wish. They would still rule their own lands so long as they answer the call of war should it come. And they would have their own taxes and such along with a small federal tax if we are talking fantasyesk things.
I mean i would love to go into insane rambles and more but it's not really needed. :P I'm merely having a fun process of the entire world itself. Anyways, hope everyone has a great day~
P.S. I'm also aware that some points where brought up in the video. I was agreeing with the point presented in my own fashion.


I always figured ahe earned the princess title properly through a series of feats of powers untold


Changelings could actually be good because they technically represent the population because they can morph into anything they want so congratulations sawtooth you could be the next ruler of equestria


The problem with your suggestion is when someone influential enough will use their power and charisma to persuade the citizens to vote for him, despite DEFINITELY not having their best intentions in mind.<br>Politics folks.

Politics folks.


What a great Monty Python reference thank you for your existence.


Ok, so here's my problem with this theory (or idea, cause I'm not sure it's a theory). Twilight only rules over Equestria. She isn't the only monarch there is. She only represents the ponied. There's Prince Rutherford of Yakyakistan, Queen Novo of The Hippogrifs, Dragon Lord Ember so on so forth... And each represents their own nation/species. That's why the matter of representation is not and cannot be a problem. As for the whole dictatorship thing, well... 1st of all, Twilight has a counsil and an advisor, you said it yourself. And even though she has the last say, she never imposes her ideas in an authoritarian way. She believes in teamwork and the value of others' opinions (heck, we even got a full episode on that second one), which is a pretty big pillar of friendship. 2nd of all, as we saw with Princess Celestia, Diplomates in Equestria are a thing. And in a nation that has diplomates, I don't think that the citizens are against the way their government functions. And, frankly, I think they're kinda used to it. Think about it, they've been under that type of rule for way over a millenia. So they're pretty okay with the way things are. As for the evil Alicorn, I don't think that's a risk. From what we've seen so far in the show,the current ruler of Equestria has two jobs: Ruling over Equestria, and making sure there's a proper and worthy successor to the Equestrian throne. Note the use of the word "Worthy". If the pony they picked did not fit their expectations or the needs of Equestria, or if they weren't suited for being world leaders (like if the chosen pony was a bad one, or had bad intentions at heart and not the Ponies' best interests) they would certainly be replaced. And I'm pretty sure that this would be demanded by the pony population. So yeah here's my take on the matter. I'm not saying that your take is a bad one, but I'm just pointing out the ways in which the show solves each of the problems you cover. So yeah. Here we are. Good video👍 And I hope there are more to come.


Starlight Glimmer as a leader, YES, SHE ALREADY IS! <3


Let me just say, I love the Game/Film Theory style thumbnails


I think it's based on the trust in wisdom and rulers that were previously in power in a sorta parliment-manner. I feel like Equestria doesn't really care because they have no reason to at the moment.  When Twilight or her successor do crazy sheet then they'll have a rebellion and change.  I mean also the status of benevolant Gods means no one is going to question their decisions in who gets devine rulership. Maybe it's in the laws stating that they have to do all these good things before becoming ruler as a good guy GPA requirement that is also a law voted for by the people. Maybe the people have the ability to vote on laws and can petition to change things, but are just complacent right now. Like if they allow for appointed leadership but have the right to do something if said leader chosen by the last leader is a peice of Sheet. Sort of like a limited monarchy, who is kept in check by their council, sovereign territories and people. Afterall Equestria has to place trust in those who are of the ability and expertise to tackle the magically dangerous parts of their world. You don't vote on who your principal at school is, but trust that those who put them in power are good at appointing leadership. That being said if your principal does terrible things you know the PTA is gonna eat them alive, as the PTA is a often a big factor in school decisions, fundraising, ect. In spite the principal being able to just flat out veto or implement things. Just my thoughts.


I agree personally I think voting for the leader could be a good thing.


Twilight is the ruler of equestria because she's stronger than anyone else with her friends by her side, and probably as an individual by the point of the epilogue. She can literally raise and lower the sun and moon, upon which all other life in Equestria is dependent on. She can channel massive amounts of destructive magic, create barriers, teleport long distance. She's nigh unstoppable.
 So this is, unfortunately, a case of might makes right. Powerful beings can do what they want when no one can stop them. And as she's a kind ruler, the few people or majority of people who could stop her, don't want to. Those villain characters were thwarted because their ultimate aims interfered with the common people's daily life and it gave them a reason to stand up or find champions to fight for them in the form of the mane 6/7. A benevolent ruler might never have that sort of opposition, because even if some people disagreed with them, the majority of the populace wouldn't.
Honestly, if you look at pre-reformation Starlight glimmer, you'll see the ultimate example of a ruler who is lawful evil, and convinces the populace to go along with her schemes without any real opposition. She ultimately failed because she made her subjects too uncomfortable to be content, so the second they had an out in the form of outside assistance, it all came crashing down. But what if she'd done a better job? What if she'd merely concealed their cutie marks but left their talents intact, so they wouldn't know their talents, but would still end up doing the things that made them happy? There's a chance she could have kept that going indefinitely, living in her vision of an 'equal' society where pony's talents weren't displayed for all to see. If she had made them all reasonably happy, and had enough power to prevent any opposition, what was to stop her from continuing to rule?

I think alicorns should stay in rulership as the other creatures who are there generally live outside of equestria and for example the hypergriffs have a queen like the ponies have a princess


Democracy is a great type of government but... I don’t think that ponies can choose which ruler they want because celestia chooses for them by putting loads of hard and big obstacles for the pony, like for Twilight if you see in the 2 episodes in which twilight and everyone (including Shining Armor and Cadence) saved the crystal empire, celestia talks to Luna about twilight being much more closer towards their plans if she saves the empire, and then at the end of the part 2, celestia holds the book which belonged to starswirl and the book which has the spell that twilight finished and earned her wings. So throughout her life, celestia and Luna knew exactly what twilight would become if she followed the path of friendship. They knew that twilight would always rule Equestria better that they ever could (with the help of her friends). After twilight became the princess of friendship everypony had full faith in her.

And even if twilight became a bad leader then the next generation of creatures who represent the elements of harmony (the young six) can banish her (I really don’t want that to happen). and even without the elements, we have seen that the magic of friendship can do exactly what the elements could do (seen in the episode where the main six defeat sombra again and without using the elements).

One like for sawtooth is another vote for equestria!👍


She's a dictator definitely but have the greatest power & kindness to reign without any violence or invasion , comparing with some presidents in democracy countries.


Don’t forget her advisor is a DRAGON! And before you brought up elections, I had a better idea: let the Student Six join the Council of Friendship


Hey! I know i’m late for this but, I wanna say some valid points here.
MLP Has some rules in being a ruler, they don’t need to be elected, because the people were *choosen* to rule since the start, any if there were any bad rulers in equestria probs the teachers (based on Celestia and Twilight) will cast them out and pick a new leader.
And tbh if you talk abt bad leadership, in the irl world people choose some bad people to lead even after election.

Well some of the reason the real world leaders are bad is bc one the USA put one of their puppets in two the elections were cheated and the people won't do anything three people will listen too the media even if the tell lies and the leaders know the people are scared to stands up for themselves.

Tiny x Melon and than king Sombra rule over the crystal empire before he was defeated

Twilight sparkle The princess of friendship


I love Your version of the holy grail Monty python.


Moral of the video: Don't talk politics with Twilight


00:00-1:05 MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL!!! I LOVED THAT SCENE!!!


Or do what England does.  Still have royalty but have a parliament and have the queen or king approve whatever changes to pass it on.


I think the difference is Alicorns are essentially deities compared to average citizens. Celestia and Luna legit raise the sun and moon. In our own history, religion went from gods that embodied elements (thunder, fire, etc) to gods that embodied pillars of human ideas (love, war, crafting, family, etc). MLP starts with rulers that represent primal forces (sun, moon) and then moves to rulers that represent ideas (friendship, ...love? is Cadance 'love'? idk). Toss in that Alicorns appear to live basically as immortals. So yeah, I feel it's less a dictatorship as it is a weird theocratic monarchy.


Ruling over true opinion instead of power! Also unfair ranks...I'm all for it.


Your point that alicorns don't represent the other species anymore is largely invalid. The other species have their own rulers (King Thorax, Queen Novo, Ember.. the list goes on.) The alicorns only give orders to the species that choose to live in Equestria. We haven't been shown that Twilight gives orders to anyone except Spike and the Student Six, which are her, well, students.


Twilight didn't get her wings from celestia it was her heart's desire remember at the end of the song when celestia said to Twilight:
It's time for you to fulfill your destiny!
Then Twilight's heart desire came out of her chest and turn her into a alicorn-


You become an alicorn when you earn it, but it’s not the only way to become one


Now saying that twilights a dictator is blasphemy but also fair meaning what riler banishes her most loyal and kind subjects (the mlp fan community)  right as she take the throne?


3:18
Vote base on popularity can be bad too: imagine this: your policy is working and there are plenty of evidence in the past but just because it is too complicated for normal folk and they understand it in a bad way, they just vote you out of the ruler role. Bad people can also manipulate popularity by mass propaganda too. All it takes is money, look and intelligence to make you popular in the eyes of voters.
Vote base on popularity only works if the entire population is not stupid and disorganize.
Copying the voting system without knowing the requirement, pro/con is just a surefire way to put the entire country at risk of collapse.


Celestia was one too :/<br>Also I'm glad I finally found someone who also noticed this! :D

Celestia was one too :/

I would totally live in Discord’s kingdom!


Each kingdom has rules and possibly when different creatures are in that kingdom they have follow the leaders rules (kingdom rules).


If every creature lives in equestria what happened to the other lands? Did they stay the same?


I think maybe it's a council. The alicorns and the children and spouses are royalty. Only the people "available" Can become royalty. With celestia and Luna retiring and cadence and her family busy with the crystal empire, twilight automaticly becomes the next ruler.


FINALY SOMEONE OUT OF MY FAMILY KNOWS ABOUT MONTHY PYTHON


Talking about Twilight.... I was rewatching mlp where Twilight got her cuter mark, and Celestia says that twilight has a special gift. The rainboom made have made her magic boost, but it's still her magic. Later Twilight transforms into an alicorn, by herself. Out of her heart. Back to that episode, she started doing crazy things like turning her parents into a cactus and an aging spell which no pony can do. That's alicorn magic. Trixie and Twilight stated it herself. So maybe Twilight was indeed born with a  gift. A very powerful gift that made her into the way she is now. Who knows? 👀

Wait a second... Twilight's magic oh and Rarity's triggered when Rainbow did the rainboom..she's an element. Twilight's magic triggered again when she got the elements back together. Coincidence? Maybe. Also why is the tree Twilight's form? What if the tree created twil- nah that seems too far of a stretch. I don't know what I'm writing


"Election results are in! Equestria has elected Big Macintosh from the Eeeyup party to be the new Princess of Equestria. The radical change in leadership has left ex-princess Twilight Sparkle from the Friendship party to demand a recount. The rest of the Friendship council refused to give comment on the election. Except for Applejack. She said and I qoute "Big Mac has always wanted to be a princess but I really don't think he knows what he's gotten himself into..." More on this developing story at eleven." -ENN


I wonder if Twilight's wings belonged to another pony.. if so did Celestia rip off those wings off of that pony? That'd make a great Creepypasta.


Its a different world...think of it as that...we don't know how they really "think"...for all we know, their entire life is based on friendship...


My thought would be that equestria is a triarchy (well, was)
5 princesses ruled equestria, and triarchy means 3 or more leaders ruling one nation.. but same as monarchism,  the rulers are a family, this wont work since celestia and luna are not sisters of twilight,
But diarchy on the other hand (or should i say hoof) means that 1 ruler being picked as the successor of the previous rulers, celestia and luna picked twilight as the new ruler successor to them
But, celestia said she and luna will retire, didn’t say anything about the crystal empire rulers, maybe equestria is a triarchy/monarchy after all
Cadence, Shining Armour, Flurry Heart and Twilight are all a big family, so equestria is a triarchy (the crystal empire rulers and twilight)


Who else when you read this At first you thought it said Twilight a director lol


A democracy is pretty close to what Equestria may need, but a normal voting system is not the way to go. If anyone else watches CGP Grey, they'll know that FPTP voting is a horrible idea that not only leads to further corruption, but also misrepresentation. As time goes on, the ruled no longer vote for who they want, they vote against who they don't want and a two-party system forms. Anyone who tries to leave the two-party system hurts the party they were in. I think Twilight needs to watch CGP Grey's alternative voting videos, and do what queen lion did: stay in charge to protect against corruption until she knows it won't happen.


I liked the parody at the beginning plz do more


I completely disagree.... cuz I like the absolute monarchy aesthetic :P


Well, many Ponies were shown to be pretty racist towards others. Even the racism and discrimination between the three tribes resurfaced in full effect just because of a few rumors.


Most Monarchy's end up getting overthrown or dissolved not because they all thought democracy's the thing to do now but because said monarchy's were causing huge problems giving a need for change if the alicorns rulership is so good that their is no need for change they wont change the system also if the ponys have a voice and they dont object they in a sense give consent and choose them, remember there government is set up in a way that they dont have that much control over people in the first place so they arnt dictators also a parliament can work in tandem with a monarchy with share of power if need be


"No tyrant can stay in charge, if the people have the power to vote them out"
laughs in turkey

"No tyrant can stay in charge, if the people have the power to vote them out"
*laughs in turkey*

yeah true democracy is a very rare thing..


Ok I'm going to be honest, this is a children's cartoon. So dictator ship, communism, and politics should never be a thing. I mean I personally don't think twilight is a dictator because she worked hard to earn her place and she had shown she's a good leader and going by bronie boys theroy twilight would still be leader and the other races of mythical creatures have their own kingdom and their own system of ruleing over their own part of Equestria. For someone who's into ponies sure forgot that small minor detail. Just saying. You can either take what I've said into thought or ignore it. I'm not here for hate I'm here for facts


Just wait till the Mandate of Heaven ends        (History joke)


I just wanted to say, is it possible that the Changeling from “a slice of life” is thorax? Plz tell me your thoughts!


“def an earth pony” me seeing him change to an alicorn multiple times with the changling thingy. ik ur secret..


I think you’re absolutely right with our course that could be corrupted but who’s to say that somebody could just switch out the votes and make it to where they could make their favorite person win idk Plus wouldn’t twilight try to make it to where she would be the only person to be elected remember what happened in episode 0 and she turned cuckoo crazy that might happen again if you suggest this idea and it actually happens


Time for an equestrian prolotarian revolution bois


Alicorns have less of a chance of getting corrupted and there royalty there the perfect example of magic sooooooo


I think the alicorns nore creatures of equestria vote for they're rulers becuase they suspect the alicorns to be the rulers, becuase that's always how it's been.


For what the mane six does Twilight gets the credit


What about balkanizing equestria into several ethnostates? One for ponies, others for unicorns  and so o, nothing could ever go wrong, right?

(i am jk)


Is it only me or this guy made twilight a total girl


I understand wondering why only alicorn can rule Equestria but they never actually said that think about it     <br>In the dragon lands who rules??? Queen Ember.  In the changeling hive who rules??? King Throrax not Twilight and ponies only rule over the places where ponies live. it just depends on who's Superior on where they live in dragonlands the superior dragon. In the changeling Hive a superior changeling

Now that Twilight has Celestias Base.... does that mean Luna has Celestias base now too, now that they’re older?


I think that starlight (or what is her name) will be next allicorn. Why? Becauze of love between master and apperice. think about it.


twilight sparkle lacks confidence, is shy, kind and gets stressed under pressure. She is not a dictator! She rules with Spike, and the mane 6 and seeks advice from her CHS friends, especially Sunset, who is in fact a better leader than her. Sunset performed at Starswirled, went on tour and also was the director of a school play! What does this say about These 2 ponies?


but the alicorns represent the pony kingdom, every other species has their own leader for their own kingdoms

so maybe all of the leaders could work together to rule over equestria and beyond


I wonder if it's easier to rig elections in Equestria than in Russia?

Мне интересно, проще ли в Эквестрии сфальсифицировать выборы, чем в России?


The way I see it is this; Celestia didn't want political power and responsibility. That's why she delegates so much. She's still very much a figurehead. A symbol of status, strength and unity. But she's less "The Governor" and more "The one who Governs the Governors". As long as she's around, Equestria is safe and protected.<br>And she very carefully picked somebody who would make a good leader. Equestria isn't a Monarchy with a royal lineage. She chose her sucessor based on how well of a leader they'd be.

There's no "There must always be an Alicorn leader" status quo because Twilight is literally the <b>second</b> Monarch Equestria's ever had.

Democracy works best on a small scale where everyone is at least an acquaintance with whoever gets elected, and especially the lack of campaigning for office. The US is unfortunately not representative of the common people. Only about 0.02% of the American population influences who can actually be voted for, at least on a practical level. Sure, anyone can pay $5,000 and get their name on the ballot, but people only vote for who they see on tv, and that comes purely from those with extensive monetary backing, not to mention the political party influence as well. This is why only democrats or republicans end up as president despite the occasional other unknown names that appear on the ballot sheet. Democracy sounds nice in theory, but making it actually work as intended is extremely difficult. Furthermore, term limits are actually a bad thing. Firstly, power does not corrupt, rather, it reveals us for who we are, and sadly most decent people are decent because of social pressure, something they can escape when they have power. Secondly, it is rare for an actually decent person to also be ambitious enough to actively seek a position if power, and more often, decent people in power are there out of a sense of duty or responsibility to do what no one else is going to do. Immoral people however, tend to be more ambitious and desiring of such positions. This means, that just from the nature of decent and selfish people, selfish ones are far more common among those running for office. Thus, when a decent person is in, we need the ability to keep them there. And also, those that are more in the grey area between decent and selfish, have other concerns to deal with, such as paying back those who got them in, as well as planning for the future. While in office, if you know you have a very limited time before you are out, you must plan for what happens when you get out, and if politics is your main field of skill, then your only options for retirement come from keeping your backers happy enough to "pay" you in one form or another enough to live comfortably after you leave office. Of course, you can stay in politics by running for other political offices, but that only works if your backers are very happy with how well you meet their demands while in, otherwise, you don't get backers and therefore don't get to stay in politics. Thus, rather than having a full republic/democratic system, it might be better to simply give the people the power of removal from office. The common people don't get much power in choosing who gets the head seat anyway, but if the people can remove whoever has the crown, than that is a check against the worst outcomes, as anyone wanting the crown wants to stay there, and so must be careful to not make the common people too unhappy, something that really isn't a big enough concern for modern leaders (it is still somewhat of a concern, but really, currently the government only needs the people to not reach the point of rebellion, but otherwise has no concern about the approval of the masses. This is why they keep trying to take guns away, because taking guns away makes rebellion a minor issue, rather than a dangerous one. And this is especially true as our military capabilities increase. Another few decades and American military forces could slaughter the entire American population without difficulty if the people didn't have guns, and they could do it with a fraction of the troops on active duty. Without guns, the government would truly have no reason whatsoever to care about public approval). In short, I can't think of a better government than a benevolent dictator. The only trouble is making sure it is a benevolent one, rather than a selfish one, and that is such a hard problem to solve that it really isn't even practical to attempt it, hence democracy. Truthfully, I think the answer lies with the real power being fixed with leaders of small clan-like groups, with the central authority being subservient to the clan leaders. The clan leaders are then democratically elected with no need for campaigning nor financial support.


What if a changeling ruled? They can represent difference and all species..


discord should rule because he represents every thing


I have a feeling the Monty python stuff went over a lot of your views heads


You are wrong because cozyglow" did not become an Allcorn The way Twilight did Twilight became an Allcorn when she ashoered that  she was pure hearted but Cozyglow did not and so you are wrong


2:07 dude she just a baby i thought u where over with that debunk theory just let it go
Also yeah no that help jack with how stupid the pony or everyone is in the show
Hi finn hi flan so what u plan to win the vote for the ten time in aroun


All different nations have there own rulership


The question I'm asking myself is why does twilight look like princess celestia now I mean her hair changed everything is that just a princess thing when alicorns get bigger they grow up too Look like that I don't think so cause cadence looks the same


When Twilight met her friends in Cantalot she had a 3 star cutie mark?


I don't think you understand how dictatorships work.


Don't forget crhisalis <br>She has wing and a horn

Don't forget crhisalis
She has wing and a horn


(Clickbait) but I still like your content


Now that Twilight has Celestias Base.... does that mean Luna has Celestias abase now too that they’re older?


Hm, a compromise would be the political system in the UK.


Well of course she going to be a dictator she is going to be listening to celestia she was one to begin with


Celestial was grooming twilight sparkle to be her heir.


me at the beginning:😋😋😂

me at the end:😯😐😦


In this episode...... I have a question for time. On season 9 Twilight sparkle is a Princess. But now she is the Queen of Equestria.   On the other hand in EG  [It means  Equestria Girrls]world there is a dublicate twilight is a real human.  If pony Twilight born a child. So, she has the ability ot go to EG world. Most of people have draw that the future of MLP University and there twilight's child is girl. So, the question is twilight is a Alocorn  . But the dublicate travel to pony world she trun into a Unicron. Twilight is a real pony.  And a Princess. So, How could she  be a principale of that school ?????.... It means that Princess Celestia is Queen of Equestria in pony world . In EG world Celestia is a principale of that school .🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I bon't think you will feel  comfortable after reading this 😑😑😑


yes but i think there should  be mulpiult learders


Cozy glow is an alicorns cuz she obsorbed discord magic


No bc if ur a queen and u gv birth to a child it is an heir sense twilight nor celestia or luna have an hier they would need another princess to rule what other creatures have proven they could be good rulers.


Parliamentary democracy yes. Reg democracy? Heck no, regular democracy is not representative of the whole, reg democracy is only representative of the majority.


If I am a pony (I really wish😂😂😂) I would become an ALICORN someday I hope
I mean everyone has just one pony life also make it good
And if you are an ALICORN you become over thousands years old 😂😂😂😂

If I am a pony (I really wish😂😂😂) I would become an ALICORN someday I hope
I mean everyone has just *one* pony life also make it good
And if you are an ALICORN you become over thousands years old 😂😂😂😂


What’s the episode of my little pony in this video called? and what’s the season the episode is in?


Sawtooth wafs vote for me pls I’m a earth pony 😂 haha


I usually love all you ideas but so sorry but I just don't think there should be elections


MONTY PYTHON REFERENCE HAHAHAHAHAH YAAAAY!!!!!


Uh, the princesses are only the rulers of Equestria, not of the lands where the other creatures live. I guess they're now kinda like the UE, they can come and go as they please between kingdoms, but they still have their own rulers and traditions in each one. Also, it is implied that King Sombra wasn't really a king that went corrupt, he just conquered the Crystal Empire and made himself king (I mean, technically the IDW comics confirm this, but I don't know how much of the comics is canon, if at all, so I try not to take them into account). Cozy Glows transformation was unnatural, you could say she wasn't a real alicorn, as shown when the MEan 3 lose their power and she goes back to being a pegasus (when the princesses lose their magic they are still alicorns). Finally, come on! The point of the fantasy genre is, like you yourself said, to romanticize the idea of a good monarch ruling with their subjects' best interests at heart, why would you ruin that with something as pedestrian as elections? (still, as the princess of friendship Twilight did create the council of friendship, so technically she isn't the sole ruler and there's a sort of division of powers I guess).


If twilight sparkle wasn’t born with wings, then how does Celestia and Luna have been born with wings? Who are their parents?


apparently passing down the crown doesn't exist


then both luna and celestia pretty much were also, also COZY DOESN'T COUNT


Flurry heart  is a BABY they do not know that much, Cozy Glow is not truly an Alicorn because it was not her magic that made her one, she took it!!! You can NOT  elect a princes they will get the the crown any way.


But everyone has their own lands and their own rulers. I honestly don’t think that all these animals and their lands are ALL equestria. Mount Eris, the dragon lands, etc.... we all see that they have their own lands and their own rulers. And just because Equestria formed relationships with these other lands, doesn’t mean they are now a part of Equestria. Just like you can go live in any other country, doesn’t mean you belong to that country. But this is just me. Sorry if I got some spelling wrong, I don’t know how to spell every thing in the MLP universe.


How cum twilight has moving mane in season 9


But no one would vote for changelings and they wouldn't change and be good.


It should if they pick a better president than the one we have today good for them


Twilight sparkle  Wow I want to be a unicorn now I don't want to be Kumon


I think Changelings should rule Aquestria

because they are able to ‘change’ in order to represent all of the creatures.


well I say do, to the current political climate in the world in the democratic countries has demonstrated that the best person for the job doesn't always is the one that gets elected


Whats with that parody😂😂your voice as twilight😂i cant bre..a...t...h <b>*dies*</b>

Whats with that parody😂😂your voice as twilight😂i cant bre..a...t...h **dies**


FLURRY IS BORN PRINCESS, SHE IS THE ONLY TRUE PRINCESS


No no no no nooo no no .why?   Because other creatures have their own land so they have their queen 😌😡


3:30 oh hello and then 3:31 yeah [ no thanks ] me say on that time ouch XD


Do all ponies grow super tall like celetia and luna?????????? or just princesess


Boop!

Edit: I have no idea why I commented this a year ago


my friends would not vote ror twi they don't like her :(


But what about celestial how can they vote in that thing and in that time pony were not togethe yet and not able to vote in that time? Since in that time they had some problems.


Twilight is a princess because sge has saving the world with her friends she is the princess but twilight and her friends rule toghether


I hate people say that “FLURRY HEART IS INCOMPETENT” like she’s a F-ing BABY!!!


Hm...so...she a princess?...still dont care...


No simply cuz ponies are dumb they're easily tricked so a bad guy could easily become president. And even if it works on the rules of let's say America. The villain would still have exclusive access to all the magic items the archive of band spells insignificant knowledge of how the system works. There's a reason why Celestia has ruled so long and Twilight will rule as long as the age of friendship still exist. Unless they have something like a war to toughen the ponies up they will always need a leader.


What happend to princess celestia and princess Luna after twilight's corenation?


I THINK THIS IS UPSURRRRRD TWILIGHT IS NOT A DICTATOR


I PIC star Light Should Be the Roler of pony Vile becus she is Responsible. And you are the dest


hey saw tooth waves did you ever did a video abuot luna do luna ever sleep.


Oh man, I've never been into the MLP too much but this video is saying EXCACTLY what I have a problem with. Equestria is NOT an only-ponies kingdom, there are other species in there and they might not be happy that a PONY tells them what they can and cannot do. And even if there are other kingdoms ruled by their own rulers, ponies still are (or were, idk what it looks like now) considered the most powerful and most important of all... or at least THEY consider THEMSELVES most powerful and they just cannot wrap their mind around the concept that some other species could be more powerful than them.

I might be wrong, though, since the last thing I watched with MLP was the movie and I based my theory mostly on that (and if you compared my theory to what was in the movie you sure would notice my point).


Princess twilight sparkle get vote for me


But, isn't equestria originally for ponies? It's like saying an American can come in and run some other country because some Americans live there...


Alcotns are the most pawerfol of all creachers so thay are perteter


I honestly think Thorax could be the perfect Equestrian ruler or at least some other Changeling, because since a Changeling can shapeshift into any species, they could represent all creatures with the abilities of one


I love when sawtooth explains stuff it's so cool


Just a video suggestion, cause I’ve had this thought in my head about what if twilight and her friends didn’t defeat the mean 3? I was thinking heavily on it because of what would’ve happened to them and Equestria or the crystal empire. I thought back to your other video on how Shining Armor should’ve been an Alicorn, and maybe then with his aid being the last line of defense, he would’ve proved his worthiness of protection displayed from his cutie mark or something like that, if you get what I meant


There's already a council in equestria , as seen in Spike's Twilight Reception for the Sick. Aside from the timeline of the all-out war with the Crystal Empire, the princesses in the cartoons and the anime are all about the receptions, the ratifications, and other administrative trivia, which means that the decision making should be in the hands of the parliament in peacetime, so the equestria  is at best close to the British system .the princess administration, parliamentary decision making, or even a more thorough constitutional monarchy.
<br>so, there was no need to sway the princess at all.

Have you ever wondered how tails work? Twilight bounced spike off of her tail in the first episode and Mr. Cake in the Baby Cakes episode carried diapers on his tail. It seems like some ponies can manipulate their tale like monkeys.


I've just been rethinking the "alicorns can represent earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi each" thing.<br>Actually this is pretty purblind thinking; since alicorns just look like all of the other ponies, but have a totally different experience of life. No (born) Alicorn knows the struggles of needing to use your teeth to open a jar or renting a balloon to reach high places... Alicorn rulership has always been the leadership of the almighty over the 'disabled' and may only have had advantages in terms of representation, as all other kinds of ponies were equally repressed and no one of the 'natural' pony kinds was able to rise above the other two.

As churchill once said. "if you want a argument against democracy have a chat with the average voter". Define Alicorn knowledge and leadership forever


you need a strong ruler like a alicorn. simply because of what the dangers in that world is. it's highly magical which means you need a mage on top. for good or bad you need someone who is strong enough to deal with outside threats.


This is a 5 minute video about why Democracy is generally considered one of the better forms of government.

And it’s great.


I will never be sad to see some Monty Python, pony-style


I hear you point but each creature already has a leader I.e. Thorax for changlings, Ember for dragons ect. And I think all of those creatures have their own way of selecting their leader, similarly to our poll votes. It's just ponies probably accept that to become an alicorn is a great test itself, if one passes it and gets the wings, it means they passed their test and are a trustworthy leader. Luna did that to get her wings but of course nightmare moon had to appear. I think that was a mere anomaly, something that doesnt happen often. Sombra was a unicorn who got corrupt but he isnt supposes to be a leader, he just dominated the crystal ponies with fear. That wasn't fair or right, so that's why he wasn't an alicorn. Flurry heart well she is a child and she learns with age, her being born an alicorn is a mystery for sure but let's not forget she is a child after all.. Besides twilight is a leader yes but she works with other creature leaders to make peace, she is incharge of ponies whilst other leaders are in charge of their race so it's more of a teamwork thing, not an individual ruler.


We know you are changing sawtooth you can just show your room to like the whole of a question like you don’t need to hide it anymore like it’s okay to change forms once in awhile


Well it's kinda different since the Mair is the Mair and of course there's gonna be votes, however, royalty has never really been voted and has always been chosen by blood so maybe that's why the ponies didn't really get a choice to vote their ruller? :P


What did the spell Twilight fixed actually do? Is it an alicorn-maker spell? Does anypony who casts it becomes an alicorn? If not, what kind of spell is it?

רוני בן עזרא


Fucking finally !
This video is literally what I'm thinking about Equestria and the whole alicorn rule
 Equestria needs a real justice system


Two points.
As for your objection that nowadays there aren't only ponies around, so that the representation thing with alicorns doesn't work anymore:
The other creatures are more like visitors, exchange students or at the most ambassadors. Even though whinking about them too is an important part of fair leadership, it would be extremely uncommon to formally represent foreigners (as such) in another nation's government.
As for the part with the "power to vote them out":
Since (the other nations' and especially) Equestria's inhabitants show an extremely broad variety of abilities, it is very difficult to actually achieve indepence of those powers. Often within the series we have seen that there is barely any creature or even group of creatures that can cope with, for instance, alicorn magic. Of course you might point out, that the power of friendship has proven itself as the mightiest power of all; but still relying on that means being in need of a few certain individuals, if some bad creature gains power. It would therefore be very difficult to implement a system, in which different forces of the nation are able to control each other (like we know it from human democratic systems) without again excluding the majority of the nation's inhabitants.


your new intro feels like the intro to a rhythm heaven minigame


dude, this political humor is frigging hilarious!


There are many things wrong with this:
- Comparing Twilight to Sombra is like comparing King George VI to Benito Mussolini.
- Cozy Glow didn't earn them, she stole them via the bell, thus making it inaccurate.
- Flurry Heart is a baby. She doesn't rule the Crystal Empire until Cadance either dies or resigns.
- The problem with comparing The princesses to The Crystal Empire is how they earned it. Sombra took the violent path and took over the Palace (via coup). The princess earned their spot by taking the place of the older generation. Not a single bit of violence.
- Yes, she doesn't represent the people. However, Twilight for almost every season finale has been the HERO of Equestria. The people know that they want a leader that can defend them when dark times come and go. It's a HERO's job to defend the people.
- Your simple description of how an Alicorn rules over a mixed race of creatures is 100% the definition of Fascism and Supremacy, not an Absolute Monarchy.

- There has been NO example of an Absolute having elections for a king/queen. That's why Royal Families exist. When the current king dies/resigns, it passes on to the oldest son(s). If the kingdom is truly corrupt, then change it to a constitutional monarchy, so that the princess doesn't have the final say on things.
- The difference between a class president and a princess is a lot. Mainly, they are on both sides of the political spectrum, presidents are mainly enforced in a libertarian/democratic society. A princess is an Authoritarian Society.


If you ask me, no it's not. And it's because of one of the very things you mentioned, BECAUSE it's so diverse. Racial tension in equestria is, complicated to say the least. I believe the Alicorn rulership is needed because their the only ones who can keep all the races unified because when people see an Alicorn, they know that there isn't a reasonable way to challenge them


That intro felt like one of Silver Quill's...
Is that what you were parodying?

(Loved it btw)


Hoping someone here can answer this question for me:
Twilight Sparkle became an Alicorn because she discovered new magic, right? Namely, a spell to swap around people's cutie marks?

But Starlight Glimmer did the same thing, independently, and did it more controllably and more often. She also may have done it before Twilight.

So why isn't Starlight Glimmer an Alicorn instead of Twilight Sparkle?

Starlight Glimmer didn't have a good heart back then she's still learning tho


I think I know why human twilight didn't go to Canterlot high. As you can see, there was no other high school that represents Ponyville, and of course, Human Twilight didn't know about friendship, since the other 5 (or 6) were in canterlot high, Twilight was isolated just as in Celestia's story.


Is anyone else curious on who is Terec and who he was before he came to Equestria and where his brother and his dad are today. Remember Discord mentioned Terec’s dad at one point saying how Terec was afraid of him, could he be more powerful and dangerous than Terec?


So could anyone explain why did Twilight looked like that at the end of the show?


There should be a council, each...um tribe should elect a ruler to participate in a larger group. To rule equestria


I was thinking is it possible that In the middle of the time jump there was a battle with the elements of harmony and disharmony 🤔


you should do a theory on twilights transformation in the season 9 finale


I love your idea but alicorns are really powerful and can turn creatures into stone while maybe you can’t and this is bad idea because of Terek cozy glow queen crisalis and many more


I wold like to know what you think about the bat pony. They may be a lot tribe or one that was forced into hiding for a long time


2:20... was that High School musical?
3:08  I dunno, Princess Discord has its appeal.  I recall a fanfic where he made the national currency air, which was difficult to spend but everyone had enough of it.  Votes for Draconequeseses...es!  Whatever the plural is!
3:40  Works fine until somone powerful on their own right refused to give up the throne...
Anyway, I've been in favor of a representative republic for Equestria ever since the ending of Season 3 made it untenable to view Celestia as analogous to a parent.  Royalty, to paraphrase Pratchett, makes ponies turn off their brains.


I have a question I’ve seen this video and from the video it says that flurry hearts new sister is only going to have wings does that still mean she’s a princess 👑?


Isn’t the ruler of Equestria responsible for raising the sun and the moon? Would voting for a new ruler affect this?


If grogar was the first leader of Equestria has he was a dictator so the pony’s that overthrew him were revolutionaries so Equestria is a republic not a dictatorship and maybe 1,000 years later it’s now a monarchy? In one of my comments I said “what if discord lived in a world binded by chaos like how Equestria is binded by friendship”so maybe the Crystal Empire is the chaos world so that would explain why it’s corrupt


The real reason for twilights wings was
cheap merchandising
Buy our toys remixed


Actually… a changing as a leader would make sense! Because they can change their form to anything therefore they can represent every creature !


You have to improve the legal system and close loopholes in the law otherwise you get the same thing that happened in Germany after WW1


Twilight: "You don't vote for Princesses."<br>No,but you elect Queens. Didn't you watch The Phantom Menace, Twi?

Twilight: "You don't vote for Princesses."
No,but you elect Queens. Didn't you watch The Phantom Menace, Twi?


Tbh that would be scary seeing how easily humans can be tricked by media. And ponies are just four legged not as intelligent humans. Also, ponies don't choose what makes them "happy" in life or what they will do, it is genetically implanted in them and shows up on their plot. Seeing as their entire life purpose is predestined, it would make sense that their laws and rulers would be as well.

Not that I did not like the video you are awesome! Just bringing out a point or two is all.


Wait since when did twilight become a tall alicorn?


You're assuming that Equestria is a Absolute Monarchy and not a Constitutional Monarchy.


I don't think Equestria should being a democracy. Just look at what happens when they can't control something like just the weather. They freak out. They need a dictator. Maby one day, but not as it sits.


Can be a constitutional monarchy like in United Kingdom


Sooooo the point is that queen Crissalis is rightfull ruler.

Also changelings are basically all siblings and their mother is also their commander/queen.


But the ruler has to be able to protect equestria.  And alicorns are the most powerful. So it would be fair to only let alicorns be prince/sses.


Can you do a video on Celestial and Luna   moving to SILVER SHOALS? Like, where is it Anyway


i would vote for Derpy (just my opinion)


Sorry I don't think Equestria should become a democracy, the general populace just doesn't seem that intelligent and easily turn against each other. If a bad ruler came to power, convincing ponies to vote for them doesn't seem too difficult.


Hi I am new watching your videos but I loved it!


1:02 Your face tho XD
Twilight: Shut up!
Celestia: removes wings and teleported her to the magic kindergarten

1:02 Your face tho XD
Twilight: Shut up!
Celestia: *removes wings and teleported her to the magic kindergarten*


Can there be an alicorn of time? Maybe they where watching the series the whole time....


Twilight after watching this:<br>DELETE THIS!!!

Twilight after watching this:
DELETE THIS!!!


Can I vote for Sawtooth Waves for ruler?


You’ve got my vote, if Apple Jack isn’t running


Ya but equestria is its own kingdom. That’s like saying it would be cool if a griffon came over and stared ruling over the Yaks. Twilight isn’t the ruler of the world, she is  the ruler of equestria. So therefore, it does make sense that she represent each type of the pony species. But yes I do agree that some election should exist to prevent... nightmare moon, Cozy Glow, etc


That was the trickiest brainwashing of all time.


Yes twilight may be the ruler but twilight can only speak when needed she can't just go to land to land and demand anything from them like ponyville who has a mayor to rule them. Btw I've been watching your vids so I'll just sum it all in here about celestia freeing Luna I think it's right I see no one who controls the sun, Moon and stars but only celestia what if celestia knows and don't know at the same time, celestia knows there will be a princess of friendship but she doesn't know who it is, I think celestia assumed that sunset shimmer will be the princess if friendship but we all know how that turned out, why didn't celestia was the one who killed nightmare moon? Because if celestia was the one who killed her there will be no story in the. First place and maybe celestia is not strong enough to destroy nightmare moon the reason nightmare moon was defeated because of friendship and we all know celestia doesn't have friends well, at least that's what I observed and maybe celestia and Luna are born as alicorns the alicorn civilization is possible but it's not in equistria maybe it's in another place oorrr another dimension. Luna said that the birth of an alicorn has never been seen IN EQUISTRIA before. And about discords appearance I think the writers just made him like that cause his all about chaos don't you think discords form is suppose to be chaotic and not understandable I actually think that maybe discord comes out from grogars bell. And about flurry heart she may be the very first alicorn to be born in equistria. wait I just said that, well anywho maybe grogars doesn't really exist the monsters did say that they thought that grogars was a myth and they only heard stories about him but don't you think discords has been around a long time before cause how discord learn about grogar's existence? Maybe they go long way back? Or maybe discord is grogars maybe discord is the father of monsters it's weird discord is the god of chaos not the god of mischief what if it's all a facade discord was the one who freed the monsters like on purpose don't you think he is just acting as the victim? That's where it all starts you know that the villain was the person you least expect.


And since when did spike become a big dragon.. When I watched this he was tiny.


But we see in mlp that there is a voted council that is voted during the episode with starlight and the royal sisters it is mentioned


Its a kid show, its all from imagination.


Cosy Glow stool the alicorn power didn't she?


Uhmm... I don’t think Twilight is a dictator. Sure she is a sole ruler but she’s not bad. She has good intentions at heart.    And no she does not rule over all the creatures. She rules over only ponies. The dragons have their own dragon lord. The hippogriffs have their own queen. Griffons probably have their own ruler too? Or some politic situation. And so they all rule together over the whole world. Dragons, hippogriffs, griphons, changelings, yaks and ponies. These creatures have just found a way to live together in harmony thanks to Twilight.            Plus! Earning alicorn wings isn’t just some divine intervention. It’s something that has to be earned by proving your magical status. And yes it has been said a baby unicorn’s power is out of control so why aren’t they born alicorn? Because alicorn magic is a whole higher level then baby unicorn magic. And even though Twilight wasn’t really chosen to be a ruler, she did save the land many times from disaster. I think everyone thought of her as a perfect successor thanks to everything she has acomplished. And even if she has the final decision, I’m sure she’s willing to listen to others and change things for the better and I’m sure that she will sometimes feel lost and ask for guidance. May it be Celestia, Luna, Cadence, her friends, a random pony or even her star pupil. And if she also chooses a successor, she will choose carefully and train that successor to be the best. And if it fails, well she gotta fix it then! Like Celestia chose the next ruler as a trusted friend and pupil, Twilight will do the same. The pupil will learn from the master and succeed at tests and other things and will be taught everything they need to rule. And when they are ready, Twilight will step down and let the new generation grow.


Discord is the best choice with a Theocratic absolute elective monarchy, and a "College of Harmony" or the "Council of the Elders" with the religious elders of all Animals species come and vote on any decisions about to put in to motion with majority 3/4 to put it into action🤣(the only problem is that Discord is fuqing immortal!)


Hi I have some ideas for videos like why Luna didn’t take over ( it would of maid more sense if Luna took over since Luna was younger so she should of take over )


OK in MY Opinion Luna was the only decent princess the corruption she had was made from Celestia and then there's cadence she made.... The princess of MERCHENDISE then twilight oh twilight the dictator she hurt so many people even if they were evil they attacked pony's who were being controlled witch had no choice to be evil this is why I think Luna is best


There's nothing wrong with dictator ship that's just mlp is. Deal with it.


What I think is that king sombra is the king of changelings and he's the partner of queen  chrysalis


an ordinary pony cannot rise and fall the sun, it cannot rise and fall in the moon ...☀🌕💙🤞🎆


It doesn't matter who rules as its the people who work behind the scenes that hold the eg. The head of the treasury. As smart as twilight is she can't rule a country alone. This is simplified but if you want check out cgp Grey as he has a better one explanation called rules for rulers


Alternative title: Twilight discovers communism

..That was already full Displayed by Starlight...<br>Soooo Ya pretty sure she already both discocered it AND is pretty disgusted by it

..That was already full Displayed by Starlight...
Soooo Ya pretty sure she already both discocered it AND is pretty disgusted by it


The reason why Twilight is the ruler, is no more <del>like Celestia & Luna</del> because she is an alicorn, and ipso facto represent ponies, but because she has the duty to raise the Sun and the Moon.

I want your theory of Ferrari heart the princess of light but the real question is what would her cutie mark be?


Hey waves umm i think changlings should be rulers of equestria bcuz they change form so they can change due to the consequences


perhaps the princesses have a way of knowing who wld be the best ruler????


So, you are saying, this is like we as Humans decided or . . . kinda did force Superman to be our one and only leader?
I think that is interesting concept that if Superman was real he could be our so called leader being all powerful and stuff...
And I tough Celestia(?) was the queen because she has been around for ever and  why not have someone who has been deemed to be good leader be good leader? I would asume the "princess" (queen!) who rules  still has to proof that they are good. Like you say, Sombra turns evil and thus is thrown out while Cadance is good and gets to rule :^)
I would assume being alicorn wont make you ruler unless you also proof somehow that you are fit to lead? Becaue that is what I got from watching mlp up till season 6 :D Where Luna was allowed to rule with Celestia and she felt like she has to proof everyone she is a good pony now and stuff :D

Edit: My point is this -> If Superman showed Humans that he is good and fit to lead humanity, why should we not make him our leader? He might help fight crime, safe life, cure world hunger by helping him self, do stuff we can't, stop wars, stop evil people and much more :^) Basically we would get much more benefits here than super man is saving the world in 1 city over whole world xD


It might have something to do with power


i think that they chose the most powerful because she or he can best protect the citizens?


Sawtooth waves I have a strange theory look at the episode rainbow dashs parents drove her to victory and you might see a bit that has derpy/muffin at the top the race so I just thought that she should be a wonder bolt  and remember when discord turned into grogar did  discord make up grogar beacause gusty the greats spell wouldn't of lasted until now so discord using his chaotic spell in stone bailed out might mare moon/luna and then returned  but didn't show his other form so I could of just crushed drwolfs theory but then I thought is discord like you who escaped the hive of the changelings so does that mean discord is a changeling maybe even king chrysalis

Simon Holyoak  Grogar and gusty the great are old legend


What of the spirit of Harmony toke on a physical form like Discord and both Harmony and chaos ruled the land together?


This is unrelatedly to the video, So if your one of the good changlings why do you have to be in pony form?


Honestly i think equestria is a monarchy. Celestia passed it onto twilight because she had no children, although she did have a nephew maybe it was uh... Sarcred rule only females can rule? Lol kinda sad but possible.


Is no one going to mention the Monty Python music in the beginning of this video?


LOL!!! I LOVE THE START OF THE VID!!! And I promise I won't reveal ur secret!


“Which we all know can never go corrupt....oh”😂💀.   But aye cozy didn’t deserve them wings and flurry a baby she wild like her parents...and aunt (COUGH COUGH) twilly


Do a video on why pinky pies hair is sooo life like. Love your videos! Please do a video for pinky pies hair!! I really want to see what you think. ❤❤❤


King Sombra doesn't count he has no backstory. and I'm subscribed to the headcanon of the Crystal Empire turning him into the dark monster we see today.


I didn't see that coming that twighlight was mean


It’s a different word there are reasons they are like that!


This is fictional but Cozy glow turned into a alicorn because she used Groger’s bell and became powerful but she wasn’t a true alicorn and flurry hart is a baby she can’t control her emotions she can but not that much, and I think it would be different if pony’s voted for they’re ruler they could end up with a Pegasus or unicorn 🦄 or earth pony whoever would be voted probably would do a terrible job because there could be a new villain or a war and if there wasn’t a alicorn ruling the ruler couldn’t Protect themselves longer then a alicorn so saying that a alicorn could fly and magic at the same time I’m not saying that the other races are useless but have there own part to play in this The unicorns would use their magic to create a force Field to protect them and the towns for the filly’s and colts the The Pegasus’s would fly and strike in the sky seeing as the rest of the unicorns would be on the ground helping the princess fight and same with all the earth pony’s with a Alicorn ruling the chance of winning a war and doing a great job ruling is 100% a chance that it would happen alicorns should rule


Have you seen twilights cutie mark? There are exactly 5 smaller stars, which represent all the other ponies, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow dash, And pinkie pie. Then the middle sparkle, it represents twilight!


I don’t think that twilight would tell someone to shut up
