Interesting idea for sure. I’m not sure it would work though. The concept has lots of cultural implications as well. In traditional monarchies the king is usually divinely ordained, chosen by god. A democracy doesn’t get its legitimacy from above, the people are the ultimate sovereign and legitimize the system. New Monarchy also needs some kind of higher philosophical justification.

Political systems often have a short slogan, that emphasizes their values.

  • No gods, no kings, no masters
  • liberté, égalité, fraternité
  • Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
  • blood and Soul
  • for god, king, and country
  • one man, one vote
  • SPQR

New Monarchism could use one as well.
