And they never openly lie like that. Instead they stick in these weasel words to make the statement true. But it's not the whole truth.

That's one small example of how they make people believe the Queen is just a figurehead.

OK.



1. What other powers does the Queen have and use on a regular basis.


2. Twice you have said "they" do this and that. Who are these "they" of which you speak, and how do "they"operate on a day to day basis and confuse people.


If it is members of this forum you are speaking about, well, I accepted limitations to the Queens "rule" and "power" decades before this thread started, and these particular they have nothing to do with it. In fact every member who has posted on this thread, independent of each other, have reached the same conclusions and probably also many years ago.
