The necessary stability between the Lords and Commons is assured by retaining a monarch. It's why the King/Queen never meddle in political issues, one way or another. It's a real-time situation WE'D be struggling through as well, if Kamala had succeeded to the WH. Except, WE don't have a monarchy to keep it all stable. Very scary!
It's a trade off that works. But, Starmer has made himself a law unto himself because he is driving toward a one party system. The Brits have had enough!
This seems like much more than a 'spat' and both sides (including 'Reform') recognize it as such.
Well, thats a mistake.
It used to be that the King was able to "check" the House of Commons.
And also, the House of Lords used to be influential.
But right now, there is zero checks and balances in the UK.
The next election is not for another four years.
In America, the House of Representatives is forced to have elections every two years.
“It’s why the King/Queen never meddle in political issues”
The Royals have been peddling the “climate change” fraud for a long time while using more carbon than a mid size African country.
In my book that is “meddling” and is guillotine worthy.
But does the Monarch have in actual power left to ensure such stability? I’ve read that the Blair parliaments and even a previous Conservative parliament reduced the “royal prerogative” to essentially zero!
