Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Technically he only has the power to authorise. The PM has the power to request.
When the reformation happened. After beheading the last ruling king. It became a little more complex then the king passing soverignty to parliment. As the king did not have soverinty after the war the short lived republic did.
Post reformation when parliment is disbanded. The king is authorising the government (IE pm) to gain sovereignty from parliment. But parliment must actually pass it. Hence the closing ceromony.
So power never actually resides in the king under the post reformation constitution. But is passed between parliment and the PM. Hence why the Government \PM is in power during an election cycle.
The only way the King could force parliment to disband. Would be to try and retake power using the loyalty of paliment or the military (who rechnically still swear to obay him).
But technically he dose not have the power to force it legally.
Sorry lots of typis. Visually impaired typing on a phone. Is A PIK (Pain In rhe King.)
