Despite constitutional power, Queen Mother remains mum about Brexit
While Queen Mother had stayed mum about the whole Brexit cacophony, she said yes to PM Johnson’s request to suspend parliament.
However, the Queen also adopted the House of Commons’ decision to not go further unless a deal be reached. What this means, as a head of the state, Queen Elizabeth remains neutral despite her tremendous constitutional powers that include the dismissal of the government and dissolve of Parliament itself.
All this untapped power while the government is reported to be working toward completing Brexit despite obstructionists while the opposition wants a stoppage of the process altogether.
