Of course, you are not using the use of power as the abuse of power, the misuse of power, the illegal use of power, or the covert use of power are you?

Yes, that's it. Other's have avoided answering because they don't want to agree with me on anything, no matter what. I suspect you have now instilled some bravery into them, so they might answer as you did.
That's 'it' because I'm not debating the use of her power since there's no direct evidence of it. I said my common sense tells me people use their power. So I can believe she uses her power without making a claim that she does. A claim requires evidence. Since there's none, common sense is all that's left with which to form an opinion about whether The Crown uses its power.
