Reply #15: Something that is missing here

[quaker bill]

is a sense of nobility. I don't mean this in the sense of status, but in the sense that it is noble to care for the less fortunate, protect the environment, and such. Having actual people that everyone recognizes as "noble" being of service in large and public ways could set an example, and likely does set some sort of example of what it means to "be British".

We have Presidents, but they do not serve this role. No one serves this role here.

We have no need for the "divine right of Kings", and it is in some sense good that no one is above reproach. But, that said, we could perhaps use some regular example of what it means to actually care in a larger sense.
