A comment on Ask HN: What do you think of the Queen?. Parent comment
The queen has been effectively stripped of all personal discretion when it comes to the use of her reserve powers.
She has no real choice when it comes to who is appointed prime minister or which bills are made into law.
The voters and elected officials make those decisions, and her only real job is give a royal stamp of approval.
