I think Ireland and Germany have good systems. Both of them have a president who is mostly ceremonial, like our monarch. The real power lies with the heads of government (taoiseach in Ireland, chancellor in Germany), who are equivalent to the UK prime minister.
I like the idea of Mecha Attenborough. I hope the technology for this will be discovered soon.
In any case, in Ireland it seems that the public elect their president, but in Germany it’s parliamentarians who elect the president. So the Irish model would be more obviously democratic. And they use ranked voting for this, so that should make controversial candidates less likely to win.

That’s why the next British Head Of State should be somebody beloved by everyone, like Mr Blobby, Roland Rat, or Mecha Attenborough.
