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
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
