So you believe in privilege by birth not merit?

I don't think you would have been able to do what QEII has done for 70 years.

You are lucky - and privileged - for having next to no duty, certainly nothing even remotely approaching hers.

Most of her duty was about - as an example -
cutting a ribbon at a bridge and saying -
I declare this bridge open.

Big deal - anyone could do that.
I'd do it for half the price. Grin

She was not the captain at your village primary school, Bobby. You are taking the mindless parochial yokel and dorky bogan act waaaay too far.
She was the head of state and head of commonwealth. God help us if you were to counsel prime ministers every week for 70 years.

You'll need a Master of Ceremony certificate first Bobby.
Then there is the corrupt aspect of wether you're part of the 'family race' to start with. Wink

You could be the best in the world.
But this primitive world still caters to the racism of 'bloodline' when it comes to 'Power' (which race should not be a factor).

Supreme executive power derives from
a mandate from the masses
not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

So the monarch can only act on the PM's advice. News travels slowly in the 17th century.

But the monarch can sack the Prime Minister as in 1975
and he can also give ministerial portfolios to the PM
in secret in the middle of the night without telling anyone. Embarrassed

That's because PM's are American grovellers.
