New monarch election, who are you voting for? The nominations!

I'll have a go.

Need a change of career, and I'm fairly I'll be good at opening hospital wards and leasure centers and smiling.
 
If the Tories were consistent, they'd be putting monarching duties out to private tender.

a few years ago, and before i gave up on it, on a forum that was getting increasingly tory, i did suggest that, since the royals were one of the oldest public sector monopolies, full of restrictive practices and generally over-staffed, that they ought to be privatised.

i suggested a model along the lines of the great success of railway privatisation - have british palaces plc to do the infrastructure, a horse and carriage leasing company, then franchise the actual monarchy for 5 years at a time. you might not get as many jubilees, but there would be more coronations to make up for it.

for some reason, that didn't go down all that well...
