Does it put the Queen in a predicament?

[JustAsking1837]

Just wondering if Boris's internal markets bill gets through the Lords, that it would then put the Queen in a difficult position if she is then expected to sign off a bill that could break international law

Yes, it does rather. Not sure there's much she can do about it though.

Remember how pissed off she looked after the whole perogration of parliament. Of course she can't do anything but I can imagine she won't be happy.

I imagine that the Queen has no fucks left to give

She went along with the illegal prorogation.

Yes, that was her one chance to do something and play a positive part... no hope there I'm afraid.

Yep. A very sticky one.

Not much she can do which will lead people to ask what's the point of the monarchy?

Ultimate irony would be that Brexit turned us into a Republic.

She has no choice but to sign it or create a constitutional crisis that could end the monarchy. She can voice her displeasure privately but she has no real executive power.

The last time a monarch refuse to give royal assent to an act was 1708.

Why would it cause a constitutional crisis if she refused to pass a law?

Have you heard of Oliver Cromwell?

Of course I have . Just want to understand the mechanism a bit more that would lead to the end of the monarchy. Thanks for trying to make me feel stupid.

I would laugh if it was the Tory Party which brought the end of the monarchy.

What @LeaveMyDamnJam said. People are always saying this but she never gets involved, she never does anything.

She didn't "go along with the illegal prorogation ".
A) she was lied to
B) even if she wasn't, she doesn't have the power to do anything about it.
Technically she could delay signing but the Pandora's box of shit she would open if she interfered with her government's work would be worse than not doing it

If she knew that she was being lied to then interfering might have been a good act. So what will happen if this act is passed? What exactly does she do?

She should and must do nothing except what her twatty ministers tell her.
She cannot get involved and use her discretion as to what she will and will not sign.
She's in her job because her uncle was such a shitbag he was forced to leave his job.
She gets involved and she ends the monarchy right there.
At most, her twatty ministers have to explain themselves to her.

She gets involved and she ends the monarchy right there.

Stranger things have happened. Depends on whether you are a glass half full or empty sort of person, really.

One view is that increasing and unavoidable exposure of the Monarchy to close scrutiny will eventually kill it anyway - not helped by the scandal. Harry and Meghan have already fucked off. The Queen could refuse to sign as the opening salvo in a move to a Republic (imagine dealing with that, Covid and Brexit ...).

However, back on planet Earth, the alternative view will be something along the lines of "The Monarchy survived the execution of a King, so there's not much it can't survive". Which may or may not be fuelled by nice houses, clothes and a toadying public.
