For starters UK doesn't have a constitution...parliamentary convention and custom are based on precedent so talking of a"constitution" highlights your own lack of knowledge of your own country parliament. Sad really given your condescending tone when you seaid "wha everyone has forgotten".
But here's what is REALLY funny. The queen not only has NO constitutional right to influence elections but it's amazing you think she ought to be able to . So you want an unelected toff to override democracy. Shows what little respect or true understanding you have for the concept "angus". The queen only has a "right" to vote like the rest of you and chooses NOT to vote for fear of seeming to influence elections. That's right... none of your royals vote ...they want to AVOID influencing election.( but angus wants them to actually step in and choose for the electorate). You'd be scary if you weren't so funny.

mahahahahaha!!

Just because the Monarch does NOT intervene, does not mean she does not have the constitutional RIGHT to do so if events ever called for her to do so. I suggest you go back and read what I actually said before trying to twist my words to suit your own agenda. The monarch cannot "influence elections" my dear aussie chump but she could, if she so chose, influence the outcome of this present predicament we find ourselves in. The GBP have already spoken and the Conservatives have the most seats, like it or not. Oh,and by the way, where on earth do you get the idea that we do not have any constitutional conventions?

If a time came to pass, for instance, when a law threatened the freedom or security of her subjects and citizens, the Queen could decline royal assent, free as she is from the constraints of party politics. Furthermore, armed removal of her by Parliament or Government would be difficult, as the monarch remains commander-in-chief of the armed forces, who swear an oath of allegiance to her.

I talk rubbish? LOL - Some of your posts are virtually incoherent and totally pointless. Condescending and arrogant? Pot/Kettle springs to mind
