    You can just vote them out and you do not have to fund their extended families and hangers on.

    If we had a referendum on retaining the monarchy, the result would be a resounding yes.

    Well obviously it wouldn't be Thatcher but my point was we could end up with a complete psycho. On that basis I'm happy enough with the status quo. And yes Ciaran we could vote them out but 4 or 5 years is time enough to do plenty of damage.

    A compete psycho? <laugh>

    Come one man. First he/she has to have worked their way up to to the top of their respective party then has have to convince the country to give them a lot more votes than their opponents.

    I think if they were a psycho they would be found out long before they got the keys to number 10.

    Plus, the role of President can be very much a ceremonial one like it is in Ireland.

    There is no need for an undemocratically elected Head of State in the 21st century.

    Countless people emigrate every day because they're not happy with their country and think it would be better to live in another.

    Psycho was a bit exaggerated but when you think of Maggie I'm sure you know what I meant. Anyway, I'm just a lazy coward who can't be arsed with things changing too dramatically.

    I'm sure some Sudanese kid whose whole family has been raped and killed would agree.

    Now your undertaking a fan-esque going to extremes Jip. We were talking about Britain and taxes.

    ps A kid isn't a man if you want to go down the pedantic road.

    No, psycho is not too exaggerated. Have you seen Mitt Romney? And what about Nixon? If the yanks can consider putting thieves and nutcases in the Whitehouse, then we're hardly likely to be immune. The French had DeGaulle, Gicard De'Estange and Mitterand, rogues every one of em. Mind you, I'm a bit worried about the prospect of King Charles, but he won't have any real power he should be harmless enough.
