Queen's Speech Letter

With regards to John Seabrook's letter I am not sure whether he was being sarcastic in congratulating the Queen on what she wore for the State Opening or not.  But the disturbing subtext behind this frankly giant waste of time is that our Head of State does not provide us with genuine leadership.   Her not being elected means she cannot say anything meaningful or controversial like a strong leader should be able to do during testing times.  Considering our Head of State is not only a lie, it also unhelpfully makes us feel as though our politics is something we should be embarrassed  about.  We like our Head of State instead should be taking responsibility for the state of our politics.
