"ummm.....how about putting some archbishop in charge, and taking government out of the equation?"

It's nothing to do with the government. The Monarch is head of state and head of the Church of England and the Prime Minister reports directly to her, on a weekly basis. The Monarch appoints and accepts the resignation of Prime Ministers, and also her permission (at least in theory) is needed to dissolve parliament, such as before a general election.

The Monarchy is of course, an anachronism and tremendous waste of taxpayers money (she has more than enough of her own) and should be replaced with an elected President.

"Come the revolution, the statue of Cromwell is staying exactly where it is... or I shall instigate another revolution."

Well, I thought it might be better in this modern age we don't celebrate the activities of a mass murdering, Irish-hating bigot who even bullied the progressives in his own country into submission. Take it down, melt it down and re-cast it into a giant urinal with his face at the bottom so we can all take a slash on it.

Mind you, this is 'Great' Britain and old hatreds seem to linger all over these Isands, so who knows? They'll be wanting to put up statues of Thatcher at Orgreave next.
