...while we overhaul the current Parliamentary system.
Let the Queen rule!
Bollocks I will not be ruled by an economic migrant married to an asylum seaker with a bunch of useless dole sponging kids.
I say sell the country to China they'll do a better job.
Then Cromwell fought for nothing!

That's next week.
Having quickly Wiki'd the various types of government available,(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_forms_of_government) then instead of a monarchal or parliamentary rule, I would subscribe to any of the following forms of government -
Meritocracy
Enlightened Absolutism
Deliberative Democracy
Though the last one might get a bit 'Pop Idol' and could be effected by our crappy media influences.
I'd vote for her!
HM could rule, but would have to seek advice from the Privy Council. The members of the Privy Council? Anyone prefixed 'Rt. Hon.' - i.e. the current and past cabinets and a few Nobles.
So no change there then...
I read that Gordon and Alistair flipped their homes. Now assuming the Daily Mail wasn't fibbing in all seriousness they can not rule us. They certainly can not decide how criminal practices of which they were a part were investigated. Even Nixon had to be absolved by his successor. So who rules? It's a serious question and in all fairness the Queen wouldn't want the job and Prince Charles just doesn't seem upto the job?
I suggest a neutral candidate who agrees to rule for one term and resign afterwards who should be selected by all 3 parties and I suppose other parties like the royal family.
I'd suggest I dunno Alan Sugar or Vince Cable.
We need to look at the legal premises that permitted sitting MPs like Oswald Moseley to be interred during world war2.

Alan Sugar?! You have got to be kidding. What, in any way makes him fit for governmental rule? Because he's an evil corporate bastard? Because he ran a company selling vast amounts of crap? Because he's on the telly?
Why not just get Gordon Ramsay or the Chuckle Brothers to run the country? Alan Sugar as PM would make Berlusconi look like Gandhi.
If we're doing a 'Pop Idol' on a new Prime Minister then my vote goes to Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
The Chuckle Brothers might not be such a lousy idea...
But seriously Vince Cable is pretty neutral and seems fairly trustworthy.

Yes. And preferably let her stay in place afterwards too.

I think you mean 'precedents'...
You know the whole let the queen role joke is a tad tired.

I'm not a fan of Sugar, but I think you're going a bit far there. Berlusconi will one day be defined in the OED as "Corrupt beyond natural human comprehension."

What makes you think I'm joking?
Because I know your peculiar sense of humour.
