she's the Queen. She doesn't need an excuse to dissolve parliment.
Come on your Majesty, do the decent thing and save us all from this meglomaniac.

Of course this is a purley hypothetical scenario but:
Is so doing the Queen would create an immediate constitutional crisis in which there COULD only be one outcome; the abolishment of the morachy.
Like them or not the government is democratically elected, and the Queen aint, the Monach would be signing her own death sentence (not literally of course)

John Major had the courage to 'put up' More than Bottler Brown from Dithering Heights has the guts to do. The man is a pathetic coward.

As for who the armed forces would support, I am not sure one way or the other. There would be a split I would imagine.
It's all academic anyay because there is more chance of us being invaded by Martians than the Queen attempting to dissolve parliament.

That's just not true, John Major waited until the very last moment before holding a general election, he was in power significantly longer than Brown has been as an 'unelected PM' - please get your fact right!!

I wish people would at least attempt to check the facts before posting up, it does make them look a tad dim, especially when the facts utterly floor their own arguements

Parliament would do it. They woul duttelry ignore nay demands from the Queen - She has no power whatsoever.

The armed forces owe their allegiance to the Queen. The oath taken on joining states that.

Do you mean we'd have some sort of military coup if the Queen forced the abolishment of the monachy by dissolving parliament? If you believe that I think you might have been at the paint thinner

The Monarchy Today > Queen and State > Queen and Government > Queen in Parliament
Only the PM can instigate proceedings to dissolve parliment.

It's not , Les.

The Monarchy Today > Queen and State > Queen and Government > Queen in Parliament
Only the PM can instigate proceedings to dissolve parliment.
In addition to opening Parliament, only The Queen can summon Parliament, and prorogue (discontinue without dissolving it) or dissolve it.
When a Prime Minister wishes to dissolve Parliament and call a general election, he or she is obliged to seek the permission of the Sovereign to do so. For this purpose, the Prime Minister usually travels to Buckingham Palace before announcing a general election.
Looks as though she has a major say in it all according to that.

Just for thought I'd point out... we don't have a Constitution as such... (unlike our colonial cousins over the pond). We have a bunch of Decrees, Charters, Convention, Bills & Parliamentary Acts... pretty much starting with the Magna Carta.
I also think if the Queen tried to dissolve Parliament on her own whim it would lead to her removal and probably the abolishment of the Monarchy.
