THE ROLE OF THE MONARCHY

The age of democracy has not produced any significant revolutionary movement in Britain. The monarchy survives but has no power and does not want any Parliament to establish its rights.

Great Britain is a constitutional monarchy. It means that the power of the Queen is limited by the Parliament. But the real power is concentrated in the hands of the great trusts and bancs and the tiny section of rich property owners. They control the land, industry, finance, trade, armed forces, police, judiciary and mass media. The Monarchy is used by the ruling class as an ideological weapon of maintaining the stability of the regime.

The Queen Elizabeth II was born in London on April 21, 1926. She was crowned at Westminster on the 2nd of June in 1953. She was the sixth Queen Regnant of Britain and second of her name. She reigns but does not rule, although the Queen is the third richest woman in the world. The powers of the Queen are nowhere exactly defined.

Theoretically every act of the state is done in her name; every letter sent out by any government department is posted in an envelope marked “On Her Majesty’s Service”. All ministers in the Government are appointed by her. Nobody but the Queen can summon Parliament, or dissolve it. In the law the Queen is the Head of the Executive, the Legislative and the Judiciary. Laws passed by two Houses do not become affective until she has signed them. But in reality everything that she does is done “on advice of her ministers”.

Today the Queen is not only the head of the United Kingdom, but also the head of the Commonwealth. She is temporal head of the Church of England. The Queen is the commander-in-chief of all the armed forces of the Crown. She is also an important symbol of national unity.
