Queen hasn't mattered ever
(This Queen)
The UK royalty haven't played a direct role in governance here for hundreds of years
The current queen has set the precedent of not being involved -at all-
Some of it had to do with the fact the Royal Family were predominantly of German origin, so they went very quiet at the outset of the World Wars
It's what really put them in their box
right but they seem to have some power I mean setting aside parliament of a time longer than usual seemed to be something the queen had to agree to
The queen has to rubber-stamp everything, that's what "set the precedent of not being involved at all" means
Why would the queen want to take sides, cause a constitutional crisis, and sign the death-warrant of the royal family forever?
@Eccles You think that parliament doesn't want GE, but the French Europe minister (whatever that is) said that only a general election or second referendum could be reasons for further etensions on brexit <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
If France goes through with it, watch remainers scramble.
I don't know what will happen, Xav, but a second referendum would be the end of brexit and democracy here
De gaulle part 2: Baguette boogaloo?
The French didn't want us to join in the first olace
Would be fitting for them to "Kick us out"
So who can oppose parliament then?
Overrule them?
yes
Technically the queen can, but won't
The Supreme Court can, but they can only offer judgement on a case, and that case has to be brought by someone
The Supreme Court is also partisan, remain, and globalist in nature
So you won't get any help there
Parliament is meant to be the representatives of the people
Yes
Therefore they are designed to be powerful
The issue is
That parliament has vacated that role
No
But still keep the job title and benefits
The parliament represent the people, but they're not representative of the peoples views on brexit
And that's because of the inherent decline in quality of MPs and political parties
Also
If it wasn't for the FTPA
We would have had a GE
Indeed
To fix that misalignment
This has been mentioned
Parl have essentially insulated themselves from the people
right I'm just wonder why the prime minster has no power here at all
Using the FTPA
In this case
FTPA is more lib dem degeneracy
