magna carta, ever heard of it?

@Summī Imperator, 呪い殿 well when a king goes mad...

Seeing as the decline came after.

That's what generals are for?

@campodin magna carta doesnt say "queen cant start world war 3"

it just says she cant violate rights of her people

declaring war isnt violation

well, nothing is stopping her now according to you either

no thats nto what i said

i said she would get overthrown now causing ti to happen anyway

if she did it back then shed get away with it

"like legit, the queen could start a WWIII at any time if she wanted"

"of course shed likely get overthrown if she started a WWIII but her being overthrown would likely cause it aswell"

She could declare it

I don't know about start.

this all started because you thought the queen had no power

i said she does

and she does

her governing instead of pm, wouldn't change that

The Queen does have power.

shed have more power if she governed as pm

That's the fact of the matter.

Hahaha

because then shes the sole political and religous/celebratory leader

She would just be the Queen still

Not PM

I said get rid of pm

the pm is the political leader

Nah

PM is the guy that controls the civilians and Commons.

the queen is a celebratory leader with limited dictatorship like abilities

your talking about the prime minister right?

the prime minister has taken the place of the queen in the lives of uk citizens and the commonwealth

if he controls the citizens and gov, hes the political leader

not really

a single pm doesnt have executive power over all of the common wealth

maybe in the eyes of the uk

I think you mean monarchist powers.

but they still celebrate the queen

yeah, by queen I mean monarch

the crown

same thing

The Crown is Parliament

In Canada

Parliament gets its authority from the Queen.

And is thus referred to as the Crown.

ok, so in canada is the prime minister elected directly?

No

The PM is the leader of the party that is elected to office with the most seats.

And the Leader is elected by the members of the parties

is it like the uk where they are the head of the party?

so the pm is basically the head of parliament

Not always.

well not in a minority government, right?

As a Minority government can subvert his agenda and call non-confidence to give him the boot.

the pm represents the crown to the people generally speaking

The other parties can form a coalition and then call an election.

But yeah, the PM is the head of the party with the most seats.

And he can appoint people to offices.

so it is practically the same as the uk

As a majority he is defacto leader.

Our system is based on British Parliament.

Yes.

But the Queen holds more power here than there.

We have the Commons and the Senate.

The Senate is full of people appointed by PMs.

From the Commons.

And they never change until one resigns or dies.

gay

Hah.

so my point is that the pm represents the crown in the lives of the citizens. but the pm is chosen through the democratic process. so the authority of the crown is democratically governed

Yes.

That's about right.

that is a problem

BUT

The Governor General is chosen by the Queen.

And has all the authority of the Queen in their country.

who is the governor general?

The Queen when the Queen isn't there.

They are the "Crown" chosen by the crown.

K, that is good

PM is the people's representative of the crown, Governor General is the Queen's.

reduce the power of governance of the pm and give it to the governor general

The Governor General is generally bribed into complacency, and rarely ever exercises power.

So long as they keep quiet they get a lot of benefits.

A fully staffed house, 7 acres of gardens

The RCMP at their Beck and call.

Armed guards at all your doors.

PM should operate like the us house majority leader

If you go against the PM the PM will try to limit the powers by calling a referendum.

So you can have a comfy job where you just sign whatever they bring you, or exercise your power once, maybe twice and cause outrage.

I don't think we should have limited the power of the crown back in the eighties...

It's come to bite us in the ass.

who is the brown?

:U

lol

limit the power of the brown, no more third world immigration

<@&479643036951904267> generic question (and a bit of old news) but what are your thoughts on the Ukriane crisis a few years back?

I think Russia is pretty based

How so?
