I am not sure if there are any pure democracies, but I'm sure to be corrected here. And if there are, I'd like to know, that's for sure.

For example, in a parliamentary system, like England. The Prime Minister is not elected by popular vote, except in his or her home district. In parliament each party elects a leader, and if they hold a majority their leader becomes Prime Minister. As long as the party holds the majority they get to chose the PM. The party itself makes the choice for leader. Sort of like the Senate Majority Leader and House Majority Leaders in the US congress. The PM reports to the Monarch.

In the US, the Pres is the Monarch, but only four years at a time.
