Weak leadership?

So as the last few years have been going by, I was thinking, is it because of weak leadership??? That is a definite candidate for the position. Like, Henry VI had serious problems. Pious but weak. Utterly controlled by his wife, I'm sure you all read about his insanity fits in the news. Richard is making some seriously stupid decisions, no wonder there's been uprisings. (I've been tempted to join in myself.) Nah, just kidding with you. So yeah, lot's of stuff along those lines, uprisings, challenges, control freak wives, you know the lot. I reckon if we got stronger rulers then it would settle down and this blumming civil war would get over and done with.
