Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some magical friendship ceremony.  
Twilight: Be quiet!  
But you can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just because some hocus-pocus in a wizard’s diary gave you wings.  
Twilight: Shut up!  
I mean, if I went around saying I was ruler of the Crystal Empire just because a spell in an old geezer’s journal made me grow a third pair of limbs, they’d put me away.  
Twilight: Shut up! Will you shut up!?!  
Oh, now we see the violence inherent in the system.

Hey Rarity, as you love being covered in muuuuud, there’s some lovely filth down here…!

Bloody peasant!

Rainbow Dash: We know you guys are capable of outsmarting us, but we didn’t think it would be THAT much…
 
Diamond Dog: We surprise us as well, blue winged pony.

I can’t help this discussion of executive power is a slight jab at someone or something.

HELP! HELP! I’M BEING OPPRESSED!

Only when they don’t eat the book first.

Apparently, they can read.

Its so cute that rainbow dash is willingly helping them out in carpentry by carrying that bucket of nails. The way she is holding it with her mouth and using her hooves while the doge’s are planting the nails on wood is just so hnnggg.

Good for them.
 
That’s a nice system.

I thought we were an autonomous collective.

Silly doggies.

Supreme executive power is derived from the masses, not some moistened bint lobbing squeaky toys!

IDW spoils us so much

This comic is love.

I’ve just added 3 Monty Python tags.

Stop.  
Who approacheth the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.

I can’t call myself King of the Diamond Dogs because some watery tart threw a chew toy at me!
