Ya Bezzer! Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'm not particularly a royalist myself but personally I'd rather the Queen (or King in future) was head of state rather than a political figure acting as a President. I think when a head of state is elected you are simply adding another layer of potential corruption to the system. Since the head of state only has ceremonial power I don't think it is really a democratic issue that they must be voted for, in fact the further beyond the political class the head of state is, the better. Or we could give it to Smeeto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I don't agree with the whole head of state thing. However, if we have to do it then I would like a shot. President Eck must be a shoe-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Or alternatively just double down on the "Fat Eck just wants tae be King!!!" cuntos' seethe and make it Salmond. Only if its written into the constitution that he must wear this gear at all public engagements. Captain Sensible has let himself go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chomp my root Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'm not particularly a royalist myself but personally I'd rather the Queen (or King in future) was head of state rather than a political figure acting as a President. I think when a head of state is elected you are simply adding another layer of potential corruption to the system. I understand where you're coming from but they're not automatically corrupt if they're not royals and for me the concept is just completely wrong in a modern society. At least you can change a poor president. A lot of people on this forum seem to be pro indy and a common argument is that we are often ruled by a Tory government in Westminster whether we vote for it or not, to then opt for an unelected head of state seems bizarre to me. I want rid of them whether we stay or leave the union but I suspect we'll have them either way for a long while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
