When it gets stupid, we have a safety valve.
In the army you have the OC’s hour, in a Democratic Monarchy you have HMTQ and her local rep.
To: His Excellency, Anand Satyanand, Governor General of New Zealand
We, the undersigned, being gravely concerned that the New Zealand House of Representatives intends to retrospectively legalise previous violations of the Electoral Act and thus usurp the Constitution of New Zealand and its democratic processes, earnestly petition Your Excellency, as representative of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Queen of New Zealand, that Your Excellency withhold the Royal Assent from any such legislation as an assertation that Members of Parliament govern subject to the will of the people of New Zealand at Her Majesty’s pleasure and not at their own.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
Go forth loyal citizens and drop your head of state a line.
UPDATE: Greetings visitors from the pro-republican site. Read carefully - reading comprehension seems to be a weakness of republicans - I said “greetings”, not “welcome”. Lewis seems to have become confused into thinking we’re having a conversion. We’re not. This is a pro-Monarchist site, I do not encourage, link to, promote or provide readership to separatists. Before you waste your time typing comments, READ THE POST. Nowhere have I made any claims in this post regrading the powers of the GG. Lewis has, you can accept them or check his claims if you choose. What you can’t do is show up here after reading whatever nappy soiling howly bag he’s had, and claim I said things I haven’t. For the love of god people, you have eyes and a brain, do your own thinking and read before you type.
Kiwis in large numbers are pissed off, and being a democratic monarchy we have the right to petition the GG, regardless of the outcome. People want to speak up in these dark days as our democracy is being dismantled. Who the hell are you to try and shut them up?
And finally:
God Bless Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Head of the Commonwealth, Lord High Admiral, Supreme Governor of the Church of England (Defender of the Faith), Lord of Mann, Duke of Lancaster and Duke of Normandy and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed forces.
