I think CA propositions have been a boon. CA is a democratic machine state. So you can't get representation for ideas left or right of the centrist viewpoint of CA pols - except, you can with propositions. The bad props that passed (prop 65, prop 13) are only exceptions that prove the rule. I would definitely not want to live under royalty. btw, King Charles doesn't make policy. He's a figurehead, not a head of state.
