well that's sort of where i started. but upon reflection, i expect that - when tourist revenues are taken into account - the queen is probably no more expensive than a president would be.
and frosty as she may be, queen liz at least has a form of decorum that prez tony would conspicously lack (and i think of far worse scenarios than that).
king chaz, may prove to be another kettle of fish entirely.

If the USA is an example of the sort of head of state you'd get in a republic then Liz would do me. But is it always necessary to have rich ambitious powermongers or egomaniacal actors as your only candidates? Taking party politics out of the equation would seem a sensible move to me, as would limiting the budgets the candidates can spend campaigning.
The whole election could be done as a TV show, perhaps with Simon Cowal and Paxman co-presenting.
