Monarchy without a Parliament ultimately leads to a group of privileged people that the Royalty relies upon. The stratified society this creates (the king allows some members of the public to be called Lords and Barons), and the fact that the kings family invariably steals public money for their own wealth, makes monarchy a poor alternative to democracy
