    That is another point as well, on-top.

    Exactly, the current monarch isn't that bad. This is why I advocate reforming the system so when she dies naturally or retires, the new system then comes into effect. No point having a whole upheaval, as there is no pressing concerns to bring it in ASAP.

    If Charles is really the best, he could run for the position as the first President of Great Britain. I have no issues with them lifting the ban on royals running for government (since they would no longer be royals).

    Another point is of course that you don't really need a president at all.

    Appointing governments and such is a job your highest court of law is perfectly capable of performing.
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

    Exactly, I have advocated previously just total removal. All you need to do is draw up a new constitution and have the High Court act like a Supreme Court (which it basically is) to rule on constitutional matters.
