This is for all of you who think the Queen would lose her power if she did something disagreeable.
You people who think the Con is just paper and meaningless, ignore this post just as you ignore the legality of the supreme law of the land.

If you think the Queen could lose her power then whether you realize or not, whether you like it or not, you have tacitly acknowledged that, the queen HAS power, exactly as it says in the Constitution. So you agree with the original post which claims the Queen has power.

Now, how could she lose that power? It has to be by Constitutional amendment, does it not? The proclamation for amendments must originate with the Queen. But the Queen can refuse to issue a proclamation. Nowhere does it say that under any circumstances, may the PM or anyone else issue a proclamation to amend the Constitution.

If the Queen does not make the proclamation, no amendment can be made.

So by what mechanism do you propose her powers could be stripped?
