    not sure about voting Presidents out - some of the African ones have had a long tenure and Putin looks to be there for decades.

    Again, good point. But there are examples of where it works. Look at the US of A for example. On the other hand, perhaps not...

    Isn't the president of America really just the same as the prime minister of the UK? I always see those two as comparable jobs not Donald and the Queen.

    Of course. It was a misguided attempt at irony

    It’s difficult to compare two completely different systems, but you could argue the house majority leader is the equivalent of the PM and the President is the equivalent to the monarch - except the President is able to use their power without public backlash etc.

    Then the senate majority leader being equivalent to the leader of the House of Lords

    Maybe she's going to explain to us where this letter from Boris Johnson the whole country was being posted this week at a cost of 5.8 million pounds is? I don't know anyone who's got one yet.

    Has she created a vaccine? No?

    If not, I'm not interested in what she says. She's a hereditary do-nowt whose platitudes mean nothing, at least to me.

    The funniest part is that half the country has already read it online.

    It always amuses me that Royalty supporters say that the Royal family bring in millions in tourist money and so is very valuable to the country. Well as far as I know Paris is the most popular tourist destination certainly in Europe, maybe in the world, and they haven't had a monarchy in hundreds of years. I won't be watching Liz's broadcast needless to say.
