I would like the chance to vote for a Head of State in the same way I have the chance to vote for our MP's. Having an hereditary system of Head of State in Britain is anachronistic and in direct conflict with democracy.

Why is this important?

It is important that everyone in the country feels they have an equal stake in society based on merit, rather than the current system of hereditary rule, where the highest political office that one could aspire to as head of state, is based purely on being born into the house of Windsor, therefore negating meritocracy and democracy as irrelevant.
