God save our gracious queen.

''Boris Johnson has placed the Queen “in the firing line” over Brexit, according to the anti-monarchy campaign group Republic. It floated the possibility that a parliamentary crisis could become a royal crisis.

Republic’s spokesman, Graham Smith, said Johnson had thrown British politics into a deep crisis “and has shone a spotlight on the impotence of the Queen and the role of the monarch’s powers”.

“Already people are petitioning the Queen to intervene, but she won’t. Not because she can’t, but because the Queen’s first priority is always the preservation of the monarchy.

“But Johnson’s decision to prorogue parliament has created a unique crisis for the Queen. The convention is that the Queen does as she’s told by the PM. But in normal times the PM has the full support of a majority in the Commons.”

“Constitutionally the Queen is free to decide whether or not to go along with the government’s plans or support the sovereign parliament. So the Queen has a choice to make, and she’s damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t.”

If the queen doesn't support the will of the people and parliament over brexit then she may as well chuff off take all the clingons with her.

She has supported the will of the people. She's signed it.

Where is it the will of the people to prorogue Parliament.?

The queen has no choice, this is just procedure.

If the queen cannot support democracy and the parliamentary system then there is not much point, she's just taking up space.

Go the republic.
