President of the U.K.

I think I would have to emigrate!

Struggling to think of anyone with the stature and integrity commensurate with the office.......no, I can’t.

Interesting post Annie I shall have to give it a bit of thought and get back.

You mean the sort of stature and integrity of the US President jane
Hmm, it is a difficult one Annie at the moment I like the idea of a few people: Ian Blackwood from the SNP and maybe Alan Sugar would shake things up a bit ,
Haha.Since Prince Charles may never get to be an actual King, he may enjoy being President instead.Giles Coren looks very good for the job, being well dressed and always has a quip or two to hand.

Goodness me, can you imagine how inflated the ego would be of the first UK President? Probably just as well I cannot think of anyone suitable.

Good question Annie No one comes to mind immediately. Mind you, I can't think of anyone that would make a decent Prime Minister at the moment either...!

Me!!!! Then I'd have to stop chuntering about 'they' getting it wrong.

Perish the bloomin’ thought, Annie! It would have to be a woman though! They are the only ones with any common sense!

I would have to wait and see who puts themselves up for election and then I would choose. William might stand and I would consider him.

Exactly lemongrove.

Actually I’ve thought of someone.

Barack Obama would be my choice.
Seriously.
Period.

Well as ever we mustn’t let the facts get in the way must we? A UK President would be just a head of state not a head of government as well and so the role cannot be compared with the US model. The Irish, German models are closer. A very different low key role which would mean a different sort of skill set and attributes. A BO type of personality would be completely wrong for the the role of a UK President. I guess the best person would be someone we wouldn’t straight away think of as it would be someone more low key, considered, thoughtful and not self absorbed. But it will never happen

Oh for goodness sake lighten up maryeliza.
I wish we had a tongue in cheek emoticon.

Actually, janea, Barack Obama would probably be even better than me!

If it has to be a woman how about Michele Obama?

The presidents of Germany and Ireland were politics

How about the Queen or Prince Charles?

MOnica, noooo Windsors please, they are wealthy

Yes I know ab but a certain type - I particularly admired MR

jane I know you didn’t mean BO of course but I did think you meant tbat type of person

MR ?

I think Mrs May regards herself as the first President. She is certainly behaving like an autocrat, blindly following her own path and paying no attention to anyone else.

RosieLeah are you putting Mrs May forward as your choice ?

Not at all...at present there is no-one suitable. Apart from myself, but I would run the country as a military establishment. It would be safe for law-abiding citizens to walk the streets, children would be properly prepared for the future, they would be no illegal immigrants. Utopia for decent people.
