A lot of my international friends have asked me--a Brit--if I’m excited for the #coronation this week, so I wrote this to roughly sum up my views on it https://www.pwnallthethings.com/p/long-live-the-king
Long Live the King?

What's the point of the British Monarchy anyway?

@Pwnallthethings this seems to hold fine; so long as the monarch ONLY reminds the PM that they're shit and never actually exercises the domestic powers they actually have. I find this pretty questionable, and Elizabeth certainly wielded a sort of soft power domestically that birth alone afforded her.

Are you okay with Charles being able to do this (and theoretically more) with zero remedy that doesn't involve French methods?
