-->Moin Scheich,

eine konstitutionelle Monarchie haben die dort, keine repräsentative.
Die Queen ist Oberhaupt der Armee und erstaunlicherweise kann nur sie einen Krieg erklären; Tony wird schon die Richtung vorgeben ;-)
Habe mich mal auf der website der Queen ein wenig umgeschaut.....


"Until the end of the 17th century, British monarchs were executive monarchs - that is, they had the right to make and pass legislation. Since the beginning of the eighteenth century, the monarch has become a constitutional monarch, which means that he or she is bound by rules and conventions and remains politically impartial.

On almost all matters he or she acts on the advice of ministers. While acting constitutionally, the Sovereign retains an important political role as Head of State, formally appointing prime ministers, approving certain legislation and bestowing honours.

The Queen also has important roles to play in other organisations, including the Armed Forces and the Church of England."


"The monarch is Head of the Armed Forces and it is the monarch alone who can declare war and peace. (This dates from the times when the monarch was responsible for raising, maintaining and equipping the Army and Navy, and often leading them into battle.) These powers, however, cannot now be exercised on the monarch's own initiative. The Bill of Rights (1689) declared that 'the raising or keeping of a standing army within the Kingdom in time of peace, unless it be with the consent of Parliament, is against the law'. The monarch's powers today cannot be exercised except upon the advice of responsible Ministers......

Genaueres war nicht zu eruieren; da scheint es um eine Kriegserklärung zu gehen; vermute mal Irakkrieg ohne UN-Mandat.

Gruss
Cosa
