First, thank you for the link. I didn't know David Mitchell wrote stuff like this and I enjoyed it.
Secondly however, I think the joke went over your head. This is a famous comedian (if you've seen Mitchell and Webb) and he's saying things are so bad even Charles is a step up. The whole thing is seething with sarcasm, even the title:
"I know which of our unelected leaders I prefer"
He's clearly saying the whole parliament/EU is shite here. Another gem:
"Democracy and meritocracy are of course far preferable to royal autocracy, but Truss’s administration has no democratic mandate and displays no merit. Charles III seems to have just as much right to tell us what to do and could scarcely screw things up any worse."
This is brilliant satire and condemnation of the whole system.
