The seat of power in the vatican church is literally, a seat. The official head of the vatican church is not the human pope, but the guilded and guilded chair he sits on. It’s called the holy see (“See” comes from the Latin “sedes,” meaning “seat”). It is technically the entity that’s in control of the catholics of the world.

It stands to reason that in the allegory to democracy, it’s the seat on which the member of parliament sporadically presides in that is the actual symbol of the people. Therefore, a prudent member of society must take it upon themselves to amass as many seats as they can: static ones, rocking ones, wooden ones - the entire lot! It is only then, that the determined mind can take their right to inherit the throne. The throne to become the God Emperor of mankind.
