That is a very interesting argument Janey...
Here's why we will never get rid of the Monarchy... power.
As a result of having a figurehead for our head of state and not having an elected or accountable senate (i.e. they are supposed to function like the House of Lords but essentially end up being just a dawdling rubber stamp) the PM and his party have all power.
Once in a majority position the only check on their power is the fact that they could get voted out at the end of the Term in office... otherwise they can pretty much do what they want.
It is only in minority governments like the current one that we get any sort of back and forth movement.
