Yeah, for those that think that the monarchy is just a symbol, well not really, at least not on the Westminster system. The Crown had to step up and fix stuff many times on Commonwelth kingdoms like Canada, UK and Australia. Of course some agree that it wasn't exactly the Queen acting, but some people on her behalf. However these people is still the Crown, they're not elected and act on behalf of the Queen. So, while in republics deadlocks and stuff have to be fixed by a war between parties and complicated agreements, in a monarchy, the Crown can act and fix it. The Crown can also guarantee that the gov will not stop by reasons like budget disagreement and the Crown can also protect the people against a tyrannical head of gov. So, to sum up, the monarch don't act everyday, but he and his/her institution can act when it's necessary. |
Yeah the Crown is used to unite when there is too much disagreement, does it have power itself or is it a mere tool?
Because when the Crown refuses to sign important laws then its power can be taken away to be able to pass that law.
