Actually, it's the Queen who appoints the senior members, though it's on advice from the prime minister. I do not believe the prime minister has to give advice, and I even believe a law was passed saying that if the prime minister is not a protestant, the queen doesn't need to take the advice.

Or something like that.

From what i've read the Prime Minister is given names and then picks one... who the queen then has to appoint.  I haven't read anything about that other law.

Though Gordon Brown did want to pass a law to where the Prime Minister is given one name... which is then given to the queen.

Making it really a pointless exercise.

 

 

Well, the idea is to slowly remove the powers of the Queen, which of course, I am for, as a Republican.
