    I was just about to use this example. Not only that, but many politicians (never mind the public) asked at the time didn't even know that the Governor General and said powers even existed at the time. He had, however, been on the CIA's payroll for some time.

      Yeah it's nuts that in most Westminster systems the only stick propping up democracy is the convention of the British Monarch appointing prime ministers 'on the advice of Parliament'. Even the expert legal scholars in this field have no idea what would happen if the King just decided to ignore Parliament and do whatever.

          In theory, but would Kid Starver or Rishi Sunak execute Charles? I have my doubts.
