- polshaw 2y agoNo, the monarch does not pick the Prime Minister. At all. They have a ceremonial role in confirming them. Like they do with every law that Parliament creates. If they ever actually practically exercised this theoretical power it would be the end of the monarchy.
- GJim 2y agoGood Lord man! Where are you finding this rubbish! The Members of Parliament choose the Prime Minister. The role of the monarch in confining them is purely ceremonial.
