My point still stands, she doesn't personally approve laws, letters patent is for appointing peerage. A representative will automatically approve a law, it's a formality.
Wrong. She does personally sign every act of parliament

You are so wrong. The Queen personally signs every new.act of parliament How can she delegate it to a representative ? Who would represent her? Laws are drafted by Parliament and debated there. But before the Government can enact new legislation, it must be personally signed by the Queen. It's people like you who spread the rumours that the Queen does nothing but wave.
No she doesn't, queens consent is only needed for matters pertaining to her, such as personal effects and hereditary matters. Royal assent is required for each law, and is approved automatically by a representative. No need to apologise for patronising me and insinuating I bad mouth royalty, I'll let it go. I also won't gloat at your patronising attempt to belittle me so matter of fairly. You're wrong.

You do realise that D*nny won't retain any of that info, right? His shoes probably have L and R written on them.
Retaining info is tricky for some people you're right. Have a gold star!!

Wouldn't surprise me if he had L and R printed on his hands, just in case...

At first, I wasn't sure if he was trying to wind Joel up with a Joey Essex routine - but maybe he really doesn't know that much...

I thought that too, he knows the dumb routine has worked for others and he's tried everything else. Wasn't this after Jade had spoken to him as well?

He knows some of the common stuff, like Royal assent is needed for laws (it would provoke a constitutional crisis if she didn't sign them though) but gets other stuff embarrassingly wrong.

Britain owns a shitload of islands all over the world.

The Queen privately owns Jersey I believe.

Basically he knows a few facts that any A-Level student who wants to pass must, but he doesn't have the first clue how it's all really run. Plenty of time for him to learn, but as I understand it he's not risen through the correct 'ranks' to get that high in the Tory party imo. Junior minister and he'll have done well.

How can a lift rise to you, unless it is on the floor below? Once it reaches you, you get in and rise or descend in the lift. I don't understand your point.
I think the lift rises or descends with you in it. You certainly do not rise or descend. I have been in lifts and never seen any of the other occupants rising and descending.

The fact Joel at 19 is interested in politics and has the basics should be applauded. I hate that it seems like people who act thick get rewarded. Look at Joey Essex as a prime example.

If I was D*nny I would be pretty embarrassed being educated by a 19 year old about stuff that should have sunk in at school. Although Joel was incorrect about the Queen having to approve laws, that hasn't been around for a long time.

I think New York might have something to say about London supposedly being the finance capital of the world too.

The thing is, with this years housemates you can pretty much claim anything without much argument or correction.
The Queen's approval is still required for bills to become law. If memory serves the right to veto or disapprove them hasn't been used for several hundred years, but it is in fact still in effect.

In the debate about the financial capital I would venture a guess that both cities would move forwards and backwards between number 1 and 2 depending on what criteria you would use for 'measurement'. I would think that to most people their choice would lie with their allegiance. I wouldn't say Joel was wrong, but I would say there could be a healthy debate with someone who would choose New York.

I have to say it was a moment I really admired both men for. Danny was genuinely asking questions and he didn't come across at all uncomfortable having such a young lad be so obviously better educated than him. Joel was happily sharing his knowledge and I thought he didn't come across as arrogant or 'know it all' during it. I don't like Danny, but I thought that was a good moment for both he and Joel.

Joel for the win!!!


ETA - sorry I hadn't read everything written before I posted!! Didn't mean to say the same thing as others, but it's obvious the OP is absolutely wrong even with the paltry explanations to support their views.

Joel for the win!!!

Interesting neither his tone nor body language intimated he was lording it over anyone. If he had been I think Danny's involvement and reactions would have been very different.

I'm not wrong, and I've justified this by providing facts on the difference between royal assent and queen's assent. It's rather telling that those that insist I'm wrong have been incredibly rude when trying to correct me with their own misunderstandings and sketchy knowledge of law; your patronising waffle was "paltry", with pompous hot air like that it's no wonder you want Joel to win; you seem very similar in your disregard of others.

The sovereign City of London IS the finance capital of the world. Nowhere on Earth is more powerful. Do your own research on that one.

The Queen rules over everything despite what you are told. David Cameron and ALL PMS answer to her.

I don't disregard people at all...I disregard people saying the same thing over and over expecting for it to somehow become the truth. Paltry wasn't patronising or a waffle...it was a description and one that I hold to.

Joel is a 19 year old kid with more smarts than most adults I encounter. He is engaging and I see him being an incredible success, although I do not necessarily see that success being in politics.

Wrong. No laws are passed without the Royal Assent.

The Royal Assent is the Assent of the Monarch who happens to be a Queen at present.

Once a bill has completed all the parliamentary stages in both Houses, it is ready to receive royal assent. This is when the Queen formally agrees to make the bill into an Act of Parliament (law).

There is no set time period between the conclusion of consideration of amendments/ping pong and royal assent.
What happens at royal assent?

When royal assent has been given, an announcement is made in both Houses – by the Lord Speaker in the Lords and the Speaker in the Commons.

At prorogation (the formal end to a parliamentary session), Black Rod interrupts the proceedings of the Commons and summons MPs to the Lords chamber to hear the Lords commissioners announce royal assent for the bills passed towards the end of the session which had not received royal assent earlier in the year.

There was an award-winning play last year about Prince Charles coming to the throne and causing a crisis by refusing to grant assent to a bill
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_C...III_%28play%29

He did say that no other countries have royalty...WRONG!
I don't think he did...? Danny asked if every other country had a king or queen, and Joel said no.

(No Danny, there's no King of France or King of China.)

Probably the most dubious thing Joel said was about Britain being the 3rd or 4th wealthiest country in the world. I'm sure you could rig up a way of measuring it that would make that true, but it's not by the most obvious ways of doing it.

Not dubious at all. (Don't you like Joel?)

2014 figures


The UK has surpassed France as the fifth biggest economy in the world, and the country is expected to overtake Germany by 2030, according to a new research.

Latest figures from the Centre for Economic and Business Research (CEBR) reveals that Britain has overtaken France in 2014, taking into account the £10bn ($15.6bn, €12.8bn) additional earnings from drugs and sex.

France does not include prostitution or narcotics income in its gross domestic product (GDP) calculations.

CEBR also projected that the UK will overtake Germany, which is suffering from a declining population and the weakness of the euro, within the next two decades for the first time since 1954.

CEBR Global's World Economic League Table (WELT) also revealed some other notable changes in the global economic structure.

Largest economy is not the wealthiest.

Most of the gulf states are wealthier than the UK.
