Er, me. (Sitting in Glasgow.) Seriously, Britain is a representative democracy, and while the royals (more Scots than anything else anyway) have some theoretical power, it hasn't actually been exercised since Queen Anne. One or two threats have been made (depending on the rumours you believe) but that's about it. So I guess the answer is Tony Blair, until the collective will of the people decides otherwise.
Cheers,
Graham
