Chapter 273: The Balance About to Be Broken
Whenever a coronation decision capable of determining the future of the magical world is initiated, democracy cannot surpass aristocracy.
If aristocracy decides to go all out, democracy cannot compete with it.
They lack the means to win.
Democracy is not inherently inferior to aristocracy.
In terms of power struggles in finance, reporting, and other aspects of the world, the democratic faction is, in some sense, superior to the aristocratic faction.
However, in the nature of the voting rights granted by the twelve houses that support the clock tower, aristocracy is more advantageous.
This is a difference in nature.
Democracy has absorbed the new generation of magi and even aspires to reach a higher level. Conversely, being an emerging force means that it will lag behind in traditional voting rights.
For example, if the aristocracy's top faction, the Barthomeloi, were to act, they would effectively become puppets of the Zoology faction, Gaiuslink, who would also have to act. Additionally, the Botany faction, Archelot, which is also part of the aristocracy, is in the same situation.
On top of that, when considering the Spiritual faction, Astromancy faction, and Archaeology faction, the aristocracy has six votes.
In reality, half of the twelve families are aristocratic.
