Queen Elizabeth II greets new UK Prime Minister Liz Truss, September 6, 2022
Amid 10 days of State ceremonies before the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on September 19, I spoke with Turkey’s TRT World about the relationship between the monarchy and the UK Parliamentary system on Monday.
What we are seeing in the 10 days of mourning is the playing out of these roles, reminding people of all the parts of the Constitution.
The monarchy, even if its function is ceremonial, nonetheless sits at the apex of a ruling power structure that has little to do with democracy.
The United Kingdom has not just an unelected head of state, but an unelected upper house, an unelected judiciary and a very powerful but unelected civil service.
Funny on the Royal’s environmental concerns statement, appears that the professor doesn’t know a few exceptions are using their own “oil consuming limousines”.
