What is the name of the song that plays when the Queen arrives? (1:38). It's very hard to find the name...

god save the Queen.

@eohinyorks : Well, well, well. In the New West, the police are not accountable to anyone except, possibly, very big business. Multiculturalism produces a rootless society. Political thought descends to the thought provided to politicians by Zionists. Hence all these freaky laws about rights. Any Zionist can access anyone's ptivate records. So-called 'rights' to Zionists are mere puffs in the wind whenn it comes down to it !

@F0XH0UND93 Interesting question. It would depend why I suppose. It's one of our strengths though, the Police amd the Armed Forces swear their loyalty to the Crown not Policiticans.

@CoChatt There would be another general election. She has the power to close Parliament and send them all packing but not to replace them. There would just be another election. She can't form her own Government etc.
She would only use those powers in very extreme circumstances.
-
@CoChatt You're right, in theory the Queen does technically have the power to refuse the Prime Minister permission to form a government (and she can theoretically just choose anyone to be Prime Minister or any other minister for that matter). However, that's a very good way of starting a revolution. When Charles I exercised excessive, arbritrary power over parliament, it started the English civil war, leading to his execution and ten years of an English republic.

@CMwright89 What would happen if the Queen refused to grant a new Prime Minister permission to form a government? I mean in theory, she can. But in reality she doesn't really have a choice, does she?
-
@CMwright89 Her Madgesty Queen Elizabeth II does have political power but she doesn't use it afraid of being dragged into a political controversy. Her most useful power is her ability to 'dissolve'' Parliament and she can refuse to sign bills and refuse the PM's request to call an election and even fire the PM and other ministers.
She is one great Queen and has all my respect.

Beautifully presented. Thanks for posting. But it really doesn't pay to read the text responses -- unless you're doing a study on what to find under a rock. Small reward for all your good work. Thanks again.

Reasons continued again:
Keeping the prime minister and others down: Power corrupts, the first thing the prime minister has to do after winning an election is ask the Queen's permission to form a government. Even the president of the US will bow to her and call her your majesty - that can't be a bad thing.
Figurehead and history - A head of state who can represent the whole country (she doesn't state her political views) she is also a living part of our heritage

And finally:
The monarchy has no real power anyway, so those who argue against her in the name of deomcracy don't have a leg to stand on. And those of you spouting conspiracy theories about hidden wealth, bilderbergs and Diana, I suggest you take a little trip down the yellow brick road to Oz and ask the wizard for some common sense.
