In this video:
A short while ago we wrote about the fact Queen Elizabeth II needs neither a passport nor driving license thanks to a quirk of British law. But what other powers does the Queen of many titles have and what could she theoretically do if she decided to flex the full might of the authority she wields? As it turns out, thanks to the Royal Prerogative, a terrifying amount if she really felt like it, or, at least, assuming parliament went by the letter of the law and they and the people didn’t decide to stage a little revolt.

Still using the wrong title I see. How can you be taken seriously when you cannot get basic facts correct? Now I will spell it out simply for you... THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND HAS NO POWERS AS SHE DOES NOT EXIST. THE 1707 ACTS OF UNION ABOLISHED THE ENGLISH MONARCHY. Please answer this question... Which of these are you? Just someone who is a bit slow to learn, a troll who has set out to antagonise the UK citizens of Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland, or an ignorant and arrogant little Englander? Unfortunately it is people like you that are the cancerous downside of the IT age. Spreading your misinformation and misrepresenting yourself as some kind of authority. Frankly you should be banned from You Tube

@Aidankiwi 5 жыл бұрын
Correct in principle Karl, but the last Queen of England was not Elizabeth Tudor (who died in 1603 not the mid 17th century) rather it was Queen Anne. She was simultaneously Queen of England and Queen of Scotland from 1702 to 1707. From then on she was Queen of Great Britain. Between 1603 and 1707 the crowns were separate but held by the same person. For example Queen Elizabeth's successor was referred to as James VI of Scotland and I of England.

To quote Richard Dimbleby, from longer ago than I care to remember: "The importance of the Queen is not in the power she has but the fact that by holding those powers she denies them to others". It is widely rumored that Magaret Thatcher wanted to declare war on Argentina when they invaded the Falklands but the Queen refused. So, forcing Thatcher to send an expeditionary force to relieve the islands. If it had been up to Thatcher, the army would have invaded Argentina.

No Parliament is. The Sovereign reigns at the invitation of Parliament. Parliament literally gave them more power than themselves for a very simple reason. That way you could blame the monarch for any issues arising in your government. Unfortunately for parliament, the Monarchs after Queen Anne really weren’t interested in governing significantly, that’s how the office of PM came into being. It was due to the refusal of George the First to actually legislatively govern and deposing him over not doing anything wasn’t possible because he did participate in some functions of Government. The government of the UK fell into place with the lessons of history. It wasn’t some contrived untested theory on how a nation can run. While there are a lot of potential “Powers” the King could use, it just wouldn’t make sense unless you had an absolutely deranged or infiltrated parliament. Plus if misused to a high enough degree, the public would demand they be restrained. A healthy Constitutional Monarchy is a very boring but stable State Apparatus.

It sounds like her role is basically as a failsafe. If the government spirals completely out of control and the people are about to stage a revolution... she'll take action against the government on their behalf to preserve the country. As for her advisory role, it makes sense too - unlike most politicians whose terms are limited, she has an incentive to care about UK's very long term stability. That's the value of her perspective. I do find it scary how much theoretical power she has, but as the video made clear - if she just started using it, she'd lose it. The only way she can use all that power is if the people are completely behind her, which would be the sign of a real crisis.

Richard Forester she isn't even vaguely close to all powerful. The history of political power in England is partially a long struggle between the monarch and Parliament ever since King John and the Magna Carta. Despite some ups and downs the flow of power is quite obviously been from the monarch to Parliament because Parliament has the ultimate trump card money. The English and later British people can't be taxed without their consent and only Parliament can give it. No surprise English colonists would want representation with their taxation. Several monarchs have dissolved Parliament and tried to rule themselves but have ended up having to recall it when they needed money. Controlling the Armed Forces is less impressive if you can't pay for them. Not to mention just because something is theoretically possible doesn't mean anyone would obeying orders if a monarch started giving them. Attempting to use most of these powers would probably result in losing them.

I once advised the Queen (I'm not joking, she had a website where you could submit ideas) to ask teachers, on every second year, to read attendance lists in reverse alphabetical order instead of regular alphabetical order. The idea being that kids whose names end with W, X, Y or Z shouldn't always be thinking they are "last." But I never heard back and she never adopted this idea. So now I'm bringing this idea to a KZfaq comment thread, where I probably won't even get one thumb's up vote. This is exactly the kind of thing that would help make the Queen very popular, so I'm surprised she never did this. Probably her advisers thought it was a joke. But I'm serious.

According to Kevin Cahill, in his book "Who Owns the Word", the Queen is the largest landowner in the world with 6.6 BILLION acres of land. The nearest landowner to her is the Russian state at 4.4 billion acres. She owns all of the UK, Canada, and other commonwealth countries. I always wondered why in Canada, naval vessels are called "HMCS and ship's name" standing for Her Majesty's Canadian ship. Our prosecutors in criminal courts are called the Crown. Our equivalent to the FBI is the RCMP - Royal Canadian Mounted Police. If a lawyer practices for so many years with no blemishes on his record, he receives his Queen's Counsel (Q.C.) designation. Our Prime Ministers are sworn in pledging allegiance to the Queen and not to the Canadian Constitution. They also pledge to keep her secrets. She has a representative in each province (Lieutenant Governors) who report to the Governor General, who reports directly to the Queen. Her picture is above the blackboard in all classrooms. We still sing "God Save the Queen". The BRF often visit Canada. I guess they're coming to check on their property like any land owner would. So there is far more to the BRF than we are told and that meets the eye.

James MacInnes Copeland no, she doesn’t. If she started to override democracy in a serious fashion then the UK would have a revolution and become a republic in about a week.

Honestly she is probably one of the best leaders the world has ever seen. To be in power for that long, have that much power and not abuse it is a pretty amazing thing for a human. We tend to be easily corrupted. Granted she might be doing it out of self preservation, but whatever works for her I guess.

She's basically in power and remains in power because she uses her power following the advise of those in government. So basically, she does not wield her power in her own behalf, but on the behalf of her Government, and Parliament, and thus on behalf of the people.

It’s scary how much power she has. And she chooses to not use it. It would be very easy to become a tyrant with the sheer amount of power she wields. What a testament to how reserved the queen is.

She's not immune to violent revolution and dictatorship isn't looked upon kindly in the modern world. Sure, the reason she doesn't use her power is that she chooses not to, but there are reasons behind that choice too. As the old saying goes, no man rules alone.

Most of the powers here are what in the US are called executive powers, and here are called Prerogative powers. And they are exercised - some of them often, but by Her Government, not her. That is how the British constitution works - power shared between parliament and Her Majesty's Government, who are all accountable to parliament. We must also remember that in the UK, precedent is everything. Since no monarch has exercised prerogative powers without the advice of elected government in centuries, it is *unthinkable* that it would ever happen again.

@@johnwalsh3635 It may be exercised by the government, but the absolute power still remains with the monarch as they have the ability to take back the ability for parliament and government to exercise such powers. Think of it as if the powers have been 'licensed' to parliament and government, but at any time the monarch can cancel that agreement - that is royal prerogative.
