The Monarch was entitled to back the Cooper-Letwin Bill, of course. But in that case she owed us a public statement of her right to intervene & a reasoned explanation of why she backed Cooper-Letwin. Simple passive ritual monarchy was totally inadequate to the situation.

This is a classic Brexiter flip flop/infinite regress. Doubtless you’d be calling for a monarch above the monarch if the decision doesn’t go your way. The reality is it’s not the institutions you blame but the decisions they take.

Quite so. Vetoing the Brexit referendum would have been very sensible

We’re all very worried about you. Maybe a herbal tea and a lay down are in order?

I think the thing you are searching for is called a 'dictatorship'.

And who would protect us from a rapacious monarch, Andrew? Like so much of your work, you haven't properly thought this through, have you?

Not so long ago, monarchist clowns were beseeching their majesty to prorogue parliament so we could drift over the finish line on the 29 March. Royal Assent was last withheld in 1704. Why would she now, given what has been given Royal Assent in the last 300+ years?

Sorry - I’m really struggling to see the relevance here. I appear to be witnessing a grandiose attempt at deflection.

They've reached the stage where their failure requires 'a strongman' The 'stab in the back' narrative, attacks on the judiciary, MPs requiring security details, thugs in the street whipped up by right-wing agitators Attacking the monarch is extreme but these people are insane
