C2293 royal stabilizer (1/2)
As a constitutional monarchy, the monarch was known as the ruler of the country or as the representative of its image. In the early days, the power of the monarch was still great, and many conflicts had occurred with Congress. Bloody incidents were common.
However, as time passed, as the conflict — cooperation — conflict — and cooperation wore on, the British steam engine finally reached an internal harmony, each power finally found their own position, and thus started the prosperity of the British Empire.
By the time he reached the nineteenth century, the political system in England was already rather stable and was not perfect. There was nothing perfect in this world.
For British Empire to be able to stabilize such a large body, it was already a miracle!
By the end of the nineteenth century, the royal family's power had been reduced. The Constitution granted more authority to the Parliament and the Prime Minister. At that time, the royal family would truly become an image representative.
Foreign affairs, financial, military and personnel appointments of the State These vital functions had all been transferred into the hands of the Prime Minister, and the entire royal family and nobles had all accepted this reality without any thoughts of restoration.
However, the royal family's lack of power did not mean that he did not have influence. It was clear to everyone in Britain that the royal family still played an important role at certain times.
The royal family was actually the final stabilizer in the political struggle!
Since it was an electoral system, then there must be opposing political parties. When there was opposition, there would be conflict, and fighting was something that was sometimes very difficult to control.
Once human selfish desires began to flood the land, it was easy for them to go overboard, and if they went overboard, the end result would definitely be blood loss, or even civil war.
How can one sustain the 'fight to the death' of political struggle at this time? A constitution based on cold words alone? This was obviously not enough. When the battle reached the critical point of overreaching, the royal family, the final stabilizer, would be able to play a role as the mediator of the state.
Although the king was not a representative of actual power, but because they had the kind of popular love that transcended the party, this invisible power was able to stabilize the situation in the country at its most critical moment.
When the struggle was so brutal as to affect national security, the royal family would use their influence to stabilize the political situation. This kind of transcendental party's enormous influence over the entire nation was the ultimate safety valve for a country's stability.
When the civil war between Gladstone and Benjamin was so serious that all the foreign powers had joined in, when the fighting between them became so hot that everyone in Europe knew about it, when countless officials from various countries expressed their interest, the royal family could no longer sit still.
The Queen immediately appointed her son, Crown Prince Edward, and began to exert influence across different parties. It didn't matter if you were a Liberal Party or a Tory Party, whether you were a financial oligarch or a business tycoon, whether you were a Military Elder or a civil servant leader.
Under the royal family's summons, they had to put aside all their usual conflicts and sit together to come up with a solution.
This was the highest realm of governance that the Queen wanted!
Fighting had to be controllable. If the battle became uncontrollable and they allowed their emotions to flood in, then the outcome would be unimaginable!
From time to time, many nationalities wanted to establish a two-party or multi-party system but ended up in a brutal civil war, essentially because of the lack of this last safety valve and stabilizer.
