Uncle Dave. If you read what I put, I said that the PM is not our head of state but as we are effectively a republic, he leads for us with other world leaders. My point being that whilst my compatriots complain with a degree of justification over the cost and inferred influence of royalty, the Republic they crave for exists and the supremacy of Parliament has been thus since Charles II.

Churchill was second fiddle to your President on ceremonial issues but equal in negotiating with Johnny Foreigner.

Incidentally, both Churchill and Cameron were / are fairly high up on the "in line to the throne" list. I recently found that my Mum's side are too, but male succession & all that. I'm a peasant. Which fits because Dad's side were Scottish if you go back 150 years.
