The British government’s so-called Brexit legislation that would allow the country to leave the European Union became law Tuesday after Queen Elizabeth II gave her approval.

House Commons Speaker John Bercow announced that the European Union Withdrawal Bill received royal assent and passed into law. The announcement was cheered by pro-Brexit officials.

“I have to notify the House in accordance with the Royal Assent Act 1967 that her Majesty has signified her royal assent to the following acts … European Union Withdrawal Act 2018,” Bercow said.

———-So it takes the Queen’s approval for laws, I thought the English had long ago turned the monarchy into figureheads.

It’s just a symbolic gesture. Can you imagine the scenario where she says “no”?

So it didn’t become law when the people voted? Yep, that’s what I thought. Voting doesn’t mean s~~~. The government still makes the decision.

Oh no it isn’t.

The UK really is a monarchy.
HM governmnet
HM loyal opposition
HMRC
HM prisons
etc, etc,etc

The queen has a meeting with the PM every week.

The Brexit vote was on a non-binding (ie symbolic) referendum.

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

David Cameron deliberately made it advisory as he only ever called it to try to solve the rift in the conservative party to secure his own power.

Nope, the Crown has unilateral veto power on any and all legislation that goes through parliament. She has to give affirmative consent for everything.

That’s why we left that s~~~ hole. Nothing happens on that island without that old tart’s say-so.

Nope. The Queen can dissolve Parliament whenever she wants, can dismiss the Prime Minister and all laws have to be signed off by her.

The UK is a constitutional monarchy and although the Queen can veto laws,this has not been done since the days of Queen Anne in the early 1700s.

In practice the Queen acts on the advice of the Government of the day and is bound by constitutional convention, but can invoke the above if she REALLY wanted to.

Interesting… i wonder if this will set off a #metoo movement for other countries. I know quebec’s been wanting to separate from Canada. The entire eastern side of the west coast states have been wanting to separate from their west coast counter parts among just a few i can remember right now.

Does Parliament have any power to overturn her veto as can happen with the U.S. President? I assume the Queen also cannot be impeached or removed, correct? Pardon the questions, but we in the U.S. don’t always understand the mechanics of the GB system of government.

It’s not quite as easy as all that as we do not have a written constitution, we have a make-s~~~-up-as-you-go-along process for making laws. The closest being Magna Carta (12th century) and the Bill of Rights Act in the late 1600s after the civil wars and republic period. This was also the last time a monarch was involuntarily removed from the throne, the Catholic King James being removed by the Protestant William and Mary (plus armies).

The Queen can’t dissolve Parliament any more since the fixed term parliament act of 2011. My mistake. The constitutional law course I did was well before that.

We don’t understand either really which is why everything always ends with the lawyers interpreting precedent and giving opinions rather than it being even vaguely clear.

Thanks for the clarification. And we (U.S) think we have problems despite having a Constitution.

The Queen still has final say in Canadian law too! But She never says “no”. It’s symbolic. Later this year She gets to legalize pot…

I think you can look through british history to find nothing is impossible to do to royalty, but its usually done under the most extreme circumstances.
