Constitutional CHAOS reigns as Queen and other institutions DRAGGED into Brexit mire!

As we revealed earlier today the Parliamentary Bill by Yvette Cooper and Oliver Letwin received Royal Assent in quick time. This bill has been designed to try and rule out the UK leaving the EU on a WTO Brexit, polls have shown that the majority of people who voted leave want a WTO Brexit and that this is the only true form of Brexit.

The UK, unlike the USA, has an unwritten constitution and as such is open to a great deal of interpretation. Recently there has been much more analysis on the role of the sovereign head of the UK in this process. We have noticed an increasing disconnect between the people and the Royal Family over younger Royals attempts to appeal to a more ‘modern’ and ‘liberal’ audience.

On social media there has been anger over the authorisation of the bill with comments such as those below:However some feel that the Queen’s hands are tied on this issue and that she has no other choice and it is unfair she has been brought into this debate:

This made us recall a previous article written in The Daily Mail by the esteemed commentator Peter Hitchens on the situation surrounding the monarch from 2015:

Like you and me, whether she wants to be or not, the Queen is a citizen of the European Union.

As far as our rulers in Brussels are concerned, Her Majesty can stand for the European Parliament and vote in the elections for it. She doesn’t, but she could.

She may claim to be ‘By the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith’ but in the eyes of the EU (which doesn’t believe in God or Faith) she’s just Citizen Liz.

Under EU law (Article 20, Paragraph Two of the Treaty of Rome, since you ask), she is ‘subject to the duties’ which the EU decides to require of its citizens. There aren’t any yet. But I can promise you that there will be as ‘ever closer union’ plods steadily on.

When this country was still independent, the Queen was the one who had subjects. Now, she is subject to others. Forget the Coronation Oath and a thousand years of the British constitution. Our sovereign is someone else’s subject.

Can she, in that case, still be our sovereign?

I wonder if she has noticed this change, or been worried by it. I suspect not. It has just happened to her, as it has happened to everyone else. We have quietly become a different people in a different country.

Like most of us, she has probably heard the slow advance of the EU into our national life as background noise, a dreary constant swoosh, like distant traffic.

Buckingham Palace insists, against all the evidence, that Her Majesty’s EU citizenship ‘in no way affects her prerogatives, rights and responsibilities as the Sovereign and Head of State.’ Given that the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg is the final arbiter of law in this country now, and that Parliament and our so-called ‘Supreme Court’ are subject to it, that simply isn’t so.

This sort of thing may appear mystical but actually it matters. It’s why armies defend their standards to the end, why we have Royal symbols on state documents, postage stamps, the cap-badges of soldiers and policemen, coins and seals.

The EU’s leaders know it matters. That’s why they made her an EU citizen. And how pleased they must have been to hear her, in Berlin on Wednesday, trotting out their standard propaganda line that ‘division’ in Europe is a bad thing and that ‘unity’ is the source of safety.

Really? For centuries, it was firm British policy to keep the Continent divided, to make sure its great powers left us alone. The safest period of my lifetime was the Cold War, when Europe was more sharply divided than ever.

As she spoke, the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, nodded enthusiastically. And if Mrs Merkel thought the Queen was making a political point, I’d back her judgment against any statements or briefings from British officials.

Could Downing Street, the Foreign Office and Buckingham Palace have imagined for a second that such a speech would not be interpreted as an endorsement of Britain’s continued EU membership?

Yet all would have seen it in advance and the Government could have stopped it if they wanted.

They didn’t. Without doubt, the Queen’s personal acceptance of her role as a loyal EU servant was one of the great symbolic moments of our history. A bit like Magna Carta, but backwards.

As a news organisation we are saddened to see that at 92 years of age and with an exemplary reign Her Majesty the Queen has been dragged into this mess by careerist failures like Yvette Cooper and the woeful handling of Brexit.

Whilst we understand it may be extremely frustrating for many the Queen, at this stage in her reign, would be mistaken in attempting to correct hundreds of years of precedent by getting involved in Politics but like many of you we feel something must be done to ensure this cannot happen in the future.

With the farce the UK establishment has made over the handling of our democratic vote to leave the EU so many once revered institutions, organisations and practices see approval of them plummeting. The House of Lords and hereditary peerage is no longer fit for purpose and a vast majority of people want to see it scrapped and replaced with democratically elected senators.

So many more institutions such as The Bank of England and the BBC are also riddled with mediocrity and project fear lies needing massive reform.

This will only happen if we break the lib/lab/con stranglehold that dominates Parliament and now produces the most despised Parliament since the days of Oliver Cromwell. Once this obstacle is overcome then change and reform of institutions is badly needed.
