Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
F#cking Morons.
For our Orkish neighbors: "In principle, the Queen alone has the power to dismiss government, assent to legislation and to appoint the Prime Minister. In practice, this power is exercised as a formality after parliament and the government have brokered prior agreement and amounts to no more than rubber-stamping an established decision by elected officials. There has been practically no circumstance in the last fifty years at least where the royal family has acted contrary to the wishes of Parliament although the Queen's personal feelings have probably been taken into consideration by the ruling party where matters of state are concerned.
So while it does appear to be mostly for show, there's a long seated set of traditions and prescribed rules governing the relationship between the Queen and Parliament that are still formally followed. It is, on the surface, the same relationship as between President and Parliament but where the power of veto is almost never exercised nor any decision influenced. The power of the royalty over Parliament went into steep decline after the Civil War and never really recovered."
TO SUM IT UP, the UK CROWN IS SYMBOLIC AND CEREMONIAL
