Firstly Parliament would need to disestablish the Church of England - :idea: YES PLEASE! :idea:

Then and only then could they allow the succession of a Roman Catholic.

I say a monarch is out of place in the 21st Century.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Not when she kept Thatcher under heel with the famous "You will call me ma'am" thing.

I'd rather have the Queen than a president.

One we gain from, the other is a total waste of space and will cost more with little return and will probably end up being someone like Blair :x

No issue with women getting priority, but as the monarch is the head of the CofE, how could we have a cathloic?

If the Queen/King isn't head of state, then it would be a lying, self promoting, devious politician.

I think you meant they're both a total waste of space with little return.

Please don't use the Queen brings tourists argument, it's total [LIFTED], president or royalty we still end up getting f u c k ed over, either institution is as bad as the other.

The Queen's worth keeping around just to remind Gordon and the like that they aren't the be-all and end-all alone :twisted:

The family are members and supporters of our armed forces, charities, you name it - no 'president' will give a sh1t about any of that, and God only knows our forces alone need support anywhere they can get it :evil:

Even if you don't buy the whole tourist bit, who's gonna come to see a 'president'?

Charlie boy speaks his mind, even if you don't agree with him. Political without being a politician.

It won't be too long before it's 'modernized' by the kids, who currently at least, have hot girlfriends IIRC :D

And Phil's a comedy legend :lol:
