I was trying/hoping to say that monarchy merely means rule by one and that it is not necessary for that to be a hereditary title.
In Britain, for example, it is not as important who is prime minister as it is important in the USA who is president.
The power is not as concentrated. The party rules to a much greater extent.
For this reason, it has not been that rare for ruling parties to change leader during a parliament, eg when the Conservative Party dismissed Thatcher.
