Very GOOD!When are the”Sleeping Masses”goint to WAKE UP?????????????????????????????

[MeshugeMikey]

I sense that the sleeping masses have been napping for very long time indeed.

While the contrasts such as illustrated in that wonderful video presentation n widened by several orders of magnitude..in recent years...those masses are far more INVOLVED with...the LOTTO...Smiley Virus...and the Big Big Sale..at ObamaMart than they are with the state of society and this Nation.

They have only so much mental energy to work with.

Madam, do you not realize why so many people around the world dislike Americans? Simple answer is, so many Americans make pronouncements about things they do not understand, so let me inform you about the extent of Her Majesty's 'power'.

Her Majesty (HM) QEII is not 'in power', she is merely a figurehead. Great Britain is a constitutional monarchy. Like Canada, whose government is modeled after the British government, the House of Commons is elected and proposes legislation, which is then voted on by the House. In Britain, if legislation passes in the Commons, it then goes for reading in the House of Lords. (In Canada, this 'house of sober second thought' is called the Senate, rather than the House of Lords.) Most Lords (all Senators in Canada) are appointed for life and as they die or retire, they are replaced by HM, under the direction of the Prime Minister, who is the leader of the government in the Commons. Unlike Canadian Senators, 92 of the 780 Lords are hereditary peers, whose 'peerage' passes to the next generation.

If the proposed legislation then passes the House of Lords, it is sent for HM signature into law. In Canada, legislation passed by both houses, is sent to the Governor General (GG) for signing, acting on HM behalf, unless HM is present in Canada at the time, when HM signs the legislation. The GG is appointed by the party governing at the time the position is vacant.

HM has no 'power' to govern, as the 'power' remains in the hands of the House of Commons. The last time the Monarch tried to control Parliament was 1834 when William IV dismissed the Whig Prime Minister, William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne, and appointed a Tory, Sir Robert Peel. In the ensuing elections, however, Peel lost. The King had no choice but to recall Lord Melbourne. During William IV's reign the Reform Act 1832, which reformed parliamentary representation, was passed. Together with others passed later in the century, the Act led to an expansion of the electoral franchise, and the rise of the House of Commons as the most important branch of Parliament.

If HM decided to try to exercise the powers that your _resident has, this would lead to such an uprising in GB and the Commonwealth, that most, if not all, would likely become republics. At the least, HM would be forced to abdicate and a constitutional crisis would ensue. HM has no power, outside of signing legislation approved by elected representatives of the people.

In GB, Canada, Australia, etc, the navies and air forces are all designated 'Royal', as in Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) or Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), etc., and ships are HMCS (Her Majesty's Canadian Ship), HMAS, etc; in deference to the Crown. In each case, they are subject to the country's government, not HM. Note that none of these nation's armies have the designation 'Royal', per the Magna Carta, as HM is prevented from maintaining a standing army. There are however, certain units that have the 'Royal' title conveyed on them, such as the 'Royal 22nd Regiment' (the Van Doos), usually for meritorious conduct.

Really? Plenty of political dynasties in the US - the clintons, the kennedy's the bush's. After all, you need money to get elected these days. Only a few families can afford it.

There's a big difference between the theory of American liberty and current practice of its expression.
