silly question from silly american for the brits on board
 

Sorry........ I didnt pay much attention in social studies / history class after the lessons where we kicked your ass in the revolutionary war ;)

(JK)

Ok my question:

Does the royal fam (queen and so forth, princes, blah blah) have any real political influence and power in the UK? Or does the prime mini call all the shots and the royal fam just showboats power?

:P

This is an honest question cuz I honestly dont know and did not intend to insult anyone with this post.

haha, hot link, thanks :P

No problem:)

ok into the 3rd paragraph ive deduced that the king /queen/ royal famiglia do NOT have the final say but have some, some, influence. Kind of like the US where the prezzy has the veto power to smack down decisions. So the queen can be like 'fuck that, no dont do it' but the prime min and parliament will ultimately decide 'oh yes we fuckin can, bitchhhhhh'

.... with enough votes and so forth. Just like even a veto can be backslapped unless the votes overwhelm.
