Craig 6307 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Serious question, does the Monarch have the authority to step in if he feels it's unduly damaging? I'm not sure of the constitutional rights of the sovereign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38779 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Technically aye, but it would be absolutely unprecedented and would probably see the end of the monarchy, so, crack on Chaz! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30434 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 It would create a constitutional crisis and would probably lead to any ambiguity being fixed by law. Not that I think he would do it anyway. In Australia the Governor General (the Monarch’s representative) can still I think sack the PM there. They certainly did that in the 70s and ordered a general election. Although I don’t even think that’s comparable because I think there was an issue of the PM’s party not controlling one of the houses and not being able to pass legislation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
