What I mean is that I don't think it would have been a good idea in that circumstance. I am finding it hard to think of a good reason for the Monarch to muster the Armed Forces against an elected government.

I think the whole point of a monarch in a constitutional monarchy is to provide an ultimate check and balance in the event that the elected government starts undermining the democratic process

Having a monarch who could do this undermines democracy for worse than that, in fact the monarchy is totally undemocratic.

Give Truss enough time and I’m sure she’d conjure one up.

Hmm, well at least it might lead to the monarchy being dissolved quickly.

Yes ! Two birds with one stone ifaics :)

No of course he can’t do that, there would be a fucking outcry. The queen endured many shite prime ministers and did not do that, she respected the process. The tortes were elected, it’s their choice who the leader is.

truss won’t be there long, she’s not able, I fully understand what she was trying to achieve, lower corporation tax which encourages companies to set up here, creating more jobs, abolish the upper tax rate, so those who run those companies are also happy to settle here. But she moved too fast amd that was a fatal error.

she won’t make it past Xmas. She trashed the economy within days, She also has the additional burden of being a terrible communicator, she is not likeable, she is not charismatic, she is not believable, she doesn’t inspire confidence.

Her press conference where she walked out after three or four questions showed a lack of balls and confidence to take it on, her sacking of kwasi showed a lack of personal responsibility and a desire to save her own skin.

she won’t survive. I think boris knew this and planned to come back the issue he now has is she fucked it immediately and he clearly was expecting her to take a little longer to fuck it. It’s too soon for him to come back.

truss is out. She can’t lead the tortes through an election. She’s now engaged on all the promises she made to get voted in. And the people she made those promises too will be furious she’s managed it so awfully. The whole thing is a humiliation. She has shown a total lack of comprehension of the economy. And the thought of her and kwasi sitting in a room plotting it is appalling, especially when coupled with the rumour she shagged him.

as said, it’s a humiliation and the quicker the Tory party exit her and move on the better. But they need to do it, not Charles.
