The major problem in the UK is that Parliament is overpowerful. There is nothing to balance or check them. The monarchy is merely a rubberstamping ornament. What parliament says goes, and this was confirmed by the supreme court, Parliament is supreme. All you need is a majority in the house of commons to pass whatever law you want. If the supreme court declares it illegal, you can just go back and change the whatever laws you need to to make it legal or just abolish the supreme court. The reason the monarchary was restored after Cromwells Commonwealth was because legally it was the only body that could check the power of Parliament, parliament protects you from the monarchy but who protects us against parliament. Unlike the Queen an elected head of state would be divisive, they'll inevitably be biased towards one or the other political parties. I dont know what an acceptable solution would be.
