We in England have a very good constitution the prblem is that the house of commons seem to feel that they are the pre-eminant part of parliament when in fact there is in law no pre-eminant part.

Parliament comprises the house of commons the house of Lords and the soveriegn, unfortunately in 1911 the commons threatened the lords with 300 new peers who would vote for the abolision of the Lords if the Lords did not approve a bill the commons wanted to pass, the Lords instead of asking the King to refuse the parent to the newly proposed Lords they rolled over and started the rote in our constituional system of government.

King George the 5th was told by a government minister that the King had a considerable number of prerogatives which he could use but he could only use them if he was backed by a government minister, instead of consigning the minister to the Tower he accepted wrongly that his prerogatives needed the support of a minister.

His sons and granddaughter will doubtless have been told the same lie.

The 1911 parliament act is strictly illegal as the Lords were under duress by threat of their extinction by the commons and every thing which follows on from it is illegal.

The restrictions on the soveriegns prerogatives is illegal because they amount to a major change to the constitution which requires the approval of the vast majority of the adults indigenous to this England.

Why do I say England and not Britain it is because Wales is subvject to English law and the English constitution,Scotland was allowed by English Kings to keep their own laws and constitution.

Her Majesty's powers and the powersa of the Lords have in effect been usurped by the commons entirely contrary to the ancient laws of England and the wishes of thew people.

We have in England a history of removing Kings who we feel are not up to the job and appointing those we feel are capable of handling the job. Let us think on that way forward.
