Monarchy binds Parliament solution

The proposed solution, referenced in the poll to the right, to use the monarchy to bind Parliament is outlined at The Devil's Kitchen.

The nature of the Petition

The set-up of this space was inspired by the following comment left at The Devil's Kitchen.

Parliament is supposed to represent the people of the UK. Moreover, the officers of State are supposed to do nothing to diminish the Sovereign's authority.

What, he asks rhetorically, is the status of a government which does not represent its constituents?

It is perhaps a matter of opinion as to just how poorly this government has represented the citizens of the UK.

What is not in doubt, however, is that members of this government are systematically lying--let me repeat that--'lying'--to the citizens of this nation.

It really doesn't matter WHY they are lying, or even about what they are lying; merely the lie itself makes the liar unfit for office. This automatically renders unfit for office anyone who asserts that the current treaty is substantively different from the EU Constitution.

Okay, that's the bottom line. Officers of government are lying to their own citizenry. The social contract, in short, has been broken, for such officers are no longer trustworthy.

That is simple fact--there is no scope for 'opinion' or 'nuance'.

This being true--that we were promised a referendum, and that promise has been abrogated; and that officers of government are lying outright, and quite brazenly, about the Lisbon Treaty--I must ask a second rhetorical question:

Of what purpose is a government which lies to its own citizenry on a matter of constitutional importance? To transfer national powers to an extra-national authority without a referendum is bad enough; to do so and to lie outright about the process is even more serious.

In short, this government has broken the social contract, and one can objectively prove this to be so. That being the case, what recourse--given that the social contract is in abeyance--do the citizen body have?

First and foremost, publicize the fact that Government has broken the contract, and thus has no further claim to democratic legitimacy. It may still be acting 'within the law', but that's only because, absent a written Constitution, the government itself decides what the law is. But 'legitimate'? I suspect not, on any reading of historical jurisprudence.

One could appeal to the Sovereign, whose ultimate purpose in existence is to protect 'the People' from their own Government if necessary. Indeed, all the pomp and circumstance, the very institution of monarchy, is precisely and ONLY to act as the ultimate deterrent to rogue governance.

So--we can appeal to the Crown, outlining the case for the Queen to dissolve this government and call elections.

So, what your humble Devil would like to know is: how many would sign such a petition to the monarch? Please vote in the sidebar poll.
