Why?
This is the woman who gave Rhodesia to the communists. Having the authority to veto any legislation she wishes, the Battenberg occupant, has seen fit to allow Britain to join the EUSSR and be over-run by Muslim immigrants.

She has no such authority.

She has the power to veto, but no monarch has done so since the Civil War. And to do so would create huge problems.

And again, for the 7,856,419 th time, the Muslim population (inc ‘native’ white and black converts) is 4%. 96% of the UK isnt Muslim.

Constitutionally, the Queen can only act on the advice of her ministers. Her ministers, in turn. must command the support of a majority of the House of Commons in order to form a government.

The Royal Veto, while it exists in theory, hasn’t been used since 1708.

If you don’t like what happened in Rhodesia, at minimum you would need to blame Margaret Thatcher, who in turn was trying to clean up a mess handed to her by Ian Smith, Harold Wilson, Edward Heath, and James Callaghan.

The one person you can’t blame for that situation is the Queen.
