All of which MUST be done on the advice of her Minsters. Who MUST command the support of a majority of the House of Commons.

As I stated in my previous post, the reserve powers exist, but would only be used in a Constitutional Crisis in which the existance of Britsh democracy and constitutional government was at stake.

Also, remember Parliament determines the Crown, it has deposed one King (James II & VII), and a Government forced a second to abdicate (Edward VIII). It goes both ways.

Hence the concept of Crown-in-Parliament. Soveregnty is vested in the Parliament, consiting of the Crown, Commons, and Lords, all of whom are directly or indirectly answerable to the people.

Ok - I will settle for that...

(BTW - I notice you didn’t comment on the British military oath. Not needed. I am declaring victory on this and not looking back.)
