It's surely undeniable that the king's description of the government's actions is undemocratic. He spoke about holding absolute power, which counters against equality and fairness. The fact that rebellion broke out is the opposite of the belief of consensus, "a concept of society in which the absence of conflict is seen as the equilibrium state of society" (Microsoft® Encarta® 2006. © 1993-2005 Microsoft Corporation.

By leaving only one person, may it be the king, out of party member elections, the belief of classlessness is ruled out. The king, even though higher, is set back like any other ordinary commoner and is given no right to choose the cabinet.
