I was hoping the Queen's consent would be about things like foreign policy, going to war, etc. But it's just about laws that could possibly affect the Queen's income. That sounds just like garden variety corruption.
- etrevino 6y agoWell, the article says that we don't really know, it just references a pamphlet. My understanding (and take this for what you will) is that it's interpreted very liberally. So, foreign policy and war are likely taken into account.
- MockObject 6y agoCorrupted implies a previous state of uncorruption.
- prewett 6y agoIt seems fair that the monarch would have some influence over laws that affect them (especially farther back in the past). It seems reasonable for the king to be able to veto an act of Parliament that unilaterally confiscates the king's lands and/or income. How far that the veto should extend is a matter of policy, but the veto itself is not a sign of corruption.
