Be careful what you wish for, Dave.
Just ask how much it costs the American taxpayers to have a President?
He has his own aircraft (Airforce One) at least three helicopters at his disposal and a country retreat (Camp David) and that’s only for starters!!
The domestic staff at the White House are triple those that look after Buck House and I could go on and on but, all this is paid by the American taxpayer.
In comparison the British taxpayers get off relatively lightly.

At least with a President you can change them every 4 years, only problem is that we might get Cameron!!!!!!

Ah, now you see the problems!!
America voted in Nixon, Clinton, G.W. Bush to name a few.  They, the electorate, deserve what they get as do the British.
Can you name one person that you think would make a decent President,Dave,

Live long and prosper

Boris would do it for me, Steve.
If we are going down we might as well do it in comedic style!

If you think about it, Steve, we already have a President who lives at No 10, and has a Camp David, (Chequers). Admittedly he nods to the Queen, but effectively runs (l.o.l.) the country. This was clearly demonstrated when Edward VIII was forced to abdicate by Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin.

I am in favour of the Monarchy, and believe that Charles will do a good job when his turn comes, and will certainly make his feelings known to the Government when the need arises. This is despite the fact that he is in the same situation that made his great uncle renounce the throne.
