I think it is healthy that the person at the top can take long term views without worry of the next election or their limit of 8 years in power and can excercise guidance to that end.

Hmmm. When did the Queen last take an executive decision? IMO we should also not get caught up in the widespread dislike of the boy Blair when discussing the merits of ditching the monarchy and creating either another head of state or extending the existing powers of our highest elected official. Having said that I'm now thinking President Major and, aargh, President Thatcher
