That wouldn't be a monarchy. That would be an Idiotocracy or Moronarchy.

Monarchy.
WITH an elected government, but the monarch having the most power.
Why ?? Because, in this system there is someone more powerful than the government. If they make a mistake, there is someone who can question them. No way would I want Howard in complete control of Aus...

But what if the monarch was Howard? Wouldn't you want a government you could turf out of office?

Try 3rd wave socialism, perhaps a litte research on it?
Perhaps Try reading The German Ideology, Das Kapital & Manifesto?
