Thread:Comments:UK government plans to replace House of Lords with elected chamber/God Save the Queen! She ain't no human being!/reply

Yeah, I'm not seeing how the monarchy is causing any problems currently. They have no actual power, don't leech off any money from the government and as proven during the war, can have a positive effect when the going gets tough. I'm assuming by 'president', you were referring to the kind that other countries like France and Germany have and honestly, isn't it kind of pointless to remove one figurehead and replace it with another, even if the latter is a elected one?

I do however agree with getting rid of the House of Lords, since its utterly useless compared to the Commons.
