Hybrid. Hmm, this suggests a continuum: Consentual = with full support (possibly implicit) Democratic = with majority support Unilateral = no support needed Without-3-objections falls somewhere in the middle, tending toward unilateral as the number of parties increases (in practice, the RBoA has generally had well over 6 parties). The requirement to be a Banker was quasi-Capitalist, but not in the sense of directly determining relative voting strength (e.g. caste, Primo, current RBoA). The Automatic/External model should certainly be added (Bayes post-dated my thesis). These are outside the above spectrum, though the backup system for manual overrides as needed will still be somewhere within it. No comment on the Anemocratic model, for reasons that should be obvious. Rotational autocratic would be a variation of Unilateral, I guess.
