I KNOW Matthew Clarke is sincere in his beliefs when he argues that monarchy combines aristocracy and democracy as the most Biblical form of government (You Say, June 25).
But the two concepts contradict one other. In my Oxford Dictionary the word democracy means "government by the people, state in which this prevails, opposite to monarchy, autocracy, aristocracy, oligarchy".
So if he wants to expand his theory, he needs to come back with a different choice of words.
