Morning Janie, you really need to move on but just for the sake of compromise what about voting for Lizzie Mountbatten Windsor as our first President, this would get rid of the need to put up with her offspring and the extended family that we have to fund.

JFKvsNixon Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 If we do have a president it's worth noting that he/she doesn't have to be high profile; after all how many people can name the Italian or German president? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Lots of cities recently decided they didn't want an elected mayor. They instead wanted their elected representatives to choose the "leader" of the council. Why then would we need a President? David Cameron attends international summits along with his advisors, officials and civil servants. He does that in the role of Prime Minister. Obama does it in the role of President, Hollande does it in the role of President, Angela Merkel does it as Chancellor. We don't need anyone else "ruling" or being a figurehead.

Jim Graham Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 All weekend the forum has been awash with miserable so and so's complaining how the royals are a waste of space and we shouldn't have them. (although they weren't complaining about an extra day off!!). So the OP asks a perfectly legitimate question and not a single politician or any other credible candidate has been suggested for President. Sort yourselves out. As usual we get endless complaints about what you don't want but no constructive ideas about what you do want. No wonder we are in the state we are in.

We would need another representative in his place if he was dashing about from one place to another,he's looking stressed enough as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
