There is a MONARCHY, but there is also a DEMOCRACY when it comes to voting for the government.
The concept of Monarchy combined with Democracy is called a Constitutional Monarchy. A constitutional monarchy is a form of government wherein a monarch acts as head of state bound by a constitution (codified, unmodified, or combination of the two). This form of government often has a parliament, and the monarch plays a ceremonial role.

The United Kingdom is a Parliamentary Democracy and all of the members of Parliament are democratically elected by the people of the UK. The current Prime Minister is David Cameron.
