not that I'm anti-monarchist. But they, will Leader Corbyn want to be in the Privvy Council or be called the Right Honourable?

1. Prerogative

2. Forgive my 'Murriken ign'rance.

But what power does the crown even still have?

4. Not much.

She is a highly paid figurehead president.

5. The 'Royal Prerogative' is controlled by the Prime Minister, not the monarch

jen and the Torygraph are muddying the waters by pretending this is about the Queen. Here's what he actually said, indicating he knows what the powers are:

All agreed it was time to replace the House of Lords with an elected chamber, but Corbyn also revealed he would like to go further than that by weakening some of the Queen’s powers. “The royal prerogative should be subject to parliamentary vote and veto if necessary,” he said. “The Queen hands her powers to the prime minister and he can then exercise them. It’s a very convenient way of bypassing parliament. Also, orders in council are a very convenient way of bypassing parliament.”

One of the royal prerogative powers derived from the crown, rather than parliament, is the prime minister’s ability to commit troops in armed conflict.

6. Thanks for posting this info!

It seems to be more about making it harder for the PM to send people to war without parliamentary approval, than anything to do with the Queen.

3. I suspect that Corbyn probably couldn't care less about being called 'Right Honourable' or being in

the Privy Council.

7. Does all those titles go also?

Royal Chamberlord of the Privy
The Lord and Ladies Holder of the Garter
The Right Honorable Keeper of the Keys
Sir Baron of Brains
