That said, it's not about who's 'good enough' - this is inextricably tied to the Church of England and the monarch's constitutional position in that institution as well as the State. Unpicking all of that is a lot more complex than it first appears, and the fact that the British Monarch is separately head of state of a whole load of Commonwealth countries makes it more difficult still.
My main objection is to Brown's shallow attempt to get news coverage at any cost on any issue other than the substantive issues of the day. The amount of time required to fix this would make the fox hunting debacle look like a school debating society.
