You really think a unelected Queen/King should be able to dismiss governments? Bearing in mind that you cant control it so she could just as well dismiss a government you like as one you dont?

Of course an unelected monarch should be able to dismiss their goverment!
My god man! Do you really think there should be no stops or checks in goverment to stop Britain becoming a dictatorship?
Look at what could happen if Bliar got his way with his reforms.
Imagine if Labour had been able to seed a majority of members of the Lords sympathetic to him.
With a majority in the commons, they'd have been able to do whatever they liked.
Now imagine if Bliar had aspirations of dictatorship, the majority in the commons would have seen it through, the majority in the Lords would have seen it through (just look at the crazy laws they've managed to get through anyway), are you really happy that there shouldn't be some he couldn't control in the way to prevent anything too drastic, such as removing the right to vote Bliar out?
