Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!   [though possibly better than an american election - my bracket]
I mean - You can't go round being king just cos some watery tart threw a sword at you!
Listen! Supreme exectutive power comes from a mandate from the masses! Not from some farcical equatic ceremony!
I mean - if I went round saying I was an emperor just cos some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away!!!

- classic.
