This is really just to say that this seems a sensible comment on some of Prince Charles' recent comments, which are constitutionally horrifying. Check out the whole article Graham Smith: If the Prince of Wales wants political influence and power, he should relinquish the throne and run for president | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk: "Apparently Charles sees his future role as similar to that of the presidents of Ireland or Germany. If only. What he has apparently failed to grasp is that the role of president in these two countries is democratically accountable, and the person chosen for the job is chosen by democratic means, not by accident of birth. If Charles genuinely wants to emulate his Irish or German counterparts, he should do us all a favour and begin to advocate the abolition of the monarchy. Were he to do that, I have no doubt that he would be rewarded with being elected as our first president."
Quite so.
Nous like scouse or French -oui? We wee whee all the way ... to mind us a bunch of thunks. Too much information? How could that be?
