I see both advantages and disadvantages with the Privy Council, but this article is full of errors, and most other journalist in the fail hates Jeremy Corbyn for failing to attend his first Council.
All this would not matter too much if these powers genuinely were in the hands of the Queen, a woman who has been universally trusted and loved during her long and magnificent reign.
But the Queen does not exercise any of her formal powers. She is obliged by Britain’s unwritten constitution to act only on the advice of her prime minister.
If these powers were in the hands of the Queen, then she had been a monarch with political power and the UK had not been a democracy. In my eyes, she had then been a dictator.
