I'm a monarchist because when I look around the world at the alternatives my reaction varies from the underwhelmed to outright horror.

Look at what an executive president can saddle you with. Half of America loathes the man who is meant to represent the nation and its people around the world for the next four years. And a figurehead president like whassisname of Germany or that bloke from Ireland who looks like the dungeon master? One of those would definitely boost Brand Britannia around the world, I'm sure. Much more effective than dispatching a member of the most famous ruling family in the world.
