I believe joining the EU would boost the economy, increase global influence, improve collaboration and provide stability & freedom. I believe that Brexit hasn't brought any tangible benefit and there is no future prospect of any, that the UK has changed its mind and that this should be recognised.
Has the King any role in this? Either by law or because of his own mind? I mean he is one of UK’s biggest influencers, no?
Besides some media coverage what follows? Also what about the person(s) who submitted this petition? Will they be included in the process, for example by being invited to present the cause? And are there moments in history where petitions made an actual difference already during this official act or right after it (e.g. some MP or the Government changed their mind surprisingly)?
The king’s role is entirely ceremonial and the monarch does not express a political option. England is a parliamentary democracy and the king gives his blessing to whatever parliament puts in front of him. Some anti-monarchists argue that the rotalss are a very expensive tourist attraction at this point, and useless drain on public funds.
I don’t know the exact ins and outs of the parliamentary process. There must be some previous example of a petition changing something at some point…but I would think of that an as an exceedingly rare exception.
genuine question: What would the consequences of the king not giving his blessing to whatever parliament puts in front of him be? What would the law see as the next step? Would there be a parliamentary tool in place to “override” the king?
I don’t know. Considering that the king does whatever parliament tells him, this has never come up. I don’t know what the details are of the rules and processes.
They’ll say it’s still too soon. It’ll be like ten minutes.
They already responded to the petition it’s there in the website, the discussion will just be more of the same
