You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you?

Came to this country from Nigeria, she should be sent back and see how she likes it.

However, she appointed far more than 14 prime ministers.

Specifically, which you seem to have a politically-motivated difficulty in grasping: you really do not know what "appoint" means in this context, do you?

@metal-brain said
Tell us all if it really matters.

The figure of 15 was referring to the number of UK prime ministers she had lived through, your wrong about undertaking the ceremonial duty of ‘asking’ the ipso facto PM to lead her government in the commons 15 times as Churchill was already PM on her succession.
The Monarch does not decide who the PM is in the true sense of the word ‘appoint’, but then PM is not strictly speaking an official title it’s a position that has evolved over a couple of centuries.

Don’t have much time for the royal family.
But I do feel a little sad she’s gone.

Sort of like a far away auntie who was there all my life.

Oh well. At least the ERII signs won’t be a problem any more.

Here is a quote from shav:

"14 is the number she appointed… to the UK. Churchill was already the prime minister…

However, she appointed far more than 14 prime ministers. Every prime minister in the common wealth is officially appointed by the monarch."

Do you disagree with shav? If so, say so.

@shavixmir said
You do realise that she can’t refuse to appoint the prime minister? That it’s just ceremonial?

@metal-brain said
What do you mean by "appoint"?

@shavixmir said
What don’t you understand?

Google it. Reaearch it.
Stop thining you are correct when everyone is telling you that you’re wrong.

You need to comprehend English / British history to understand why the appointment powers of the monarchy are ceremonial.

@metal-brain said
No, I am being serious here.
What do you mean by appoint?

Were they elected, then appointed?
Here in the states appointed people are not elected into government.

@shavixmir said
It’s ceremonial.
The person is elected and then the queen gives them a nod of approval.

And that’s that.
