Let’s replace the Royals with…

[thehonscupboard]

Here’s my poorly thought out plan for when we overthrow the monarchy:

Similar to Jury Service, someone gets randomly summoned to be head of state of the United Kingdom for a set period of time, say 10 years.

For the duration they get to live in a palace, wear crowns and cut some ribbons.

When their time is up they can return to the anonymity from whence they came. Or alternatively use the gig to launch their social media career.

Go on, improve on this:

Oo or instead 22 people are summoned and entered into the Traitors. Winner is head of state?

Do they have to do it? Because I’d hate to do it.

....the Teletubbies.

The Clangers.

The last person to have won a Pride of Britain award. I'd rather hear a speech from them tbh

Your idea but the head of state has to be anonymous and wear a Mr Blobby suit at public events specifically so that they can’t begin a social media career.
They should have a single residence only and live on the average wage of the population at the time.

I've always thought they should abolish it and have someone we really admire to be wheeled out for ceremonious occasions serving a few years at a time. KDavid Attenborough would have have been my first choice.

The Wombles.

people always ask what we’d have instead of the royal family as head of state but can I ask, why do you need one? It appears to largely a ceremonial role in Ireland, France

President Farage (joke!)

Some woodlice.

Isn't that what we have

I’d not replace them. Waste of time and money.

Don't be rude to woodlice!

The original muppets would be great royals. Fairly cheap too I would think.

I wonder who would play each muppet nominations for:

Oscar the trash guy
Miss Piggy
Count Dracula
Kermit
Cookie monster
Animal
Elmo

are all accepted…..

All sane people would hate to. You can be exempted for certain things but nah I reckon you have to do it otherwise we’d be left with the nutcases.

I like the Mr Blobby suit suggestion. Also the David Attenborough. How about Attenborough in a Mr Blobby suit?

Can’t be any worse than what we currently have.

@thehonscupboard your idea but only 2 years. Basically reintroducing national service. And they wear a balaclava or a mask or a niqab to remain anonymous.
