If you support objective morality, how can you also support representative republic? In an election, issues are determined by a majority vote of representatives. (as you know, this situation often results in immoral representatives gaining power. This tends to be because the majority of the electorate votes for the candidate who promises the most goodies and redistribution of wealth/resources)

I don't see how the society your vid is supporting could exist outside of a monarchy in which the monarch has a direct connection to Yahweh and can set rules/regulation for every member of society. Hayek, who RP admires, wrote that in State societies, the worst end up on top. ("Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely") Why the Worst Get on Top (http://www.word-gems.com/wealth.hayek.worst.html)

P.S. I believe in objective morality, but not enough people do for my opinion to matter much :(
