The great mystery of the British people is the perception that they create for the world, in viewing the election of their prime ministers. A ceremonial monarchy cannot or should not be the one that gives consent for the formation of any government, since the sovereignty belongs to the people, and that sovereignty is expressed through a Democratic process, so the question is, why then, the confusion? The answer goes to really understanding the English conversation, the English conversation? You may ask, goes deep into their history, from the medieval times, kings where selected and obtained the right to rule divinely, this idea, though undemocratic, served these group of small islands for centuries, the crown protected the people, and was responsible for making them a world power back in the day, its ironic that the services of that institution has been kept in service, to the British people till modern times, as the royal family uses its popularity in bringing focus to the poorest of its people through its patronage to over 700 charities, however the permission sought from it, as the last official right in becoming a prime minister, doesn't make sense, except if that act expresses the true ideal of the British monarchy, which is, protection. The conversation then must be thus, the prime minister goes to burkinham palace not to ask for permission, but rather, to give permission to the monarch and the monarchy to continue under his or her government, thereby allowing the monarch to remain the face of that historical institution. We can always expect the British to give the world brain teasers, but this arrangement is quite smart, because unlike other nations rulers who take on so much heat because of their office, in this case, the queen of England, in protection of the chosen representative of her people, takes the heat, while the real person who actually has the power is free to roam around like any common person, that is true genius!
