The Presidents of the World’s great republics, Putin, Biden, Xi, Macron, Von de Leyen, have one thing in common. They are individually a lot too powerful.

The UK has a non-political head of state. There will be no “King of climate change” as the monarch is forbidden from expressing political opinions nor to comment on current affairs. The King’s power is the ability to block actions of government. The most important responsibility of the monarch is to protect the people from the state.

The military, police, courts all swear allegiance to the King. The King presents the government’s program of legislation and signs every Act of Parliament. Where government exercises Royal prerogative, it is exactly that.

There have been notable failures of this protection such as the treasonous European Communities Act of 1972 and Bliar’s illegal invasion of Iraq. These are reasons for improving and strengthening the blocking powers of the Crown, not for diminishing them.
