[QUOTE="mindlight, post: 77386500, member: 21246"] Royal Assent is one of those things where if the power was ever used it may well be removed. It remains a good thing for the monarchy as an institution to have this power because it gives one more possible check on legislation that might be truly harmful to the nation and which a majority of people oppose in our representative democracy. The Queen a devout Christian assented to abortion laws and gay marriage laws which may well have contradicted her private convictions but in both cases, there was a mandate for this from the people however misguided that was. Personally, I would be happy if the queen's accounts were not revealed to the public. Those who oppose this are basically looking for ammunition to overthrow the monarchy and I see no benefit in pandering to republicans. It is a harmless privilege for a head of state that help cement the stability of a key institution with very little likelihood of significant abuse given a free press and continued private scrutiny of those accounts by reputable bodies.
