eh, whatever

I'd been thinking about a concept for a constitutional monarchy that does a sort of co-executive thing with the monarch and an elected president

not really a serious "I think this is a thing that should be implemented" kind of idea, though

but it does seem like there'd be a couple advantages

I'd say the speeches from this anime can apply to today

Personally I'm bracing myself for an immortal A.I. construct out of San Francisco to just sieze power

Skynet

Or Cortana

It'll be that but funded by Facebook

Although kosch, your idea sounds pretty similar to the uk but I'm guessing with tweaks

Like a Constitution for one

the power would be shared more equally

I know the queen does have power

but it's not a lot

that said, the idea was more based around the american system, so I don't know how well certain things translate

But that's a point though

The UK could really use a written constitution IMO

Far as I'm aware, the "unwritten constitution" is basically just centuries of legal precedent, which doesn't sound like a great thing to hang your entire government on.

Yeah it's easily undone

See: Tommy Robinson, Dankula etc

Imho,they should get rid of the monarchy

Imho yes that too even though I'm rather fond of the queen

That being said

It is pretty cool that the PM has someone to talk to whose seen all heads of government for the last several decades

At least the Japanese Imperial Family is more stable than the British monarchy

But paying them millions is not lit at all

How about Democratizing the monarchy? The regent becomes another elected office, you can only run if nominated by petition, and it is an office for life with the same powers of the current queen. And it gives that stability of monarchy and the protection against it being a family business

Honestly I think it having no term limit could be dangerous

But if no money or actual power were involved, and if they could be voted out too

A purely advisory role

I would be interested in seeing where that goes

But you can't put yourself forward to run. Enough people would want you to rule. You'd still be essentially a puppet of parliament, but the regents current position is to represent the Nations intended culture

Oooo I like that

I can have a few decent ideas on weed

The idea of not being able to put yourself forward for office

Hhahhaha

Legalize!!!

Queens getting up there and I'm not particularly fond of any of the potential heirs. Might as well get it done now

My government lost $42 million SELLING legal weed
