THE RETURN OF THE KING

Given that nearly three million UK residents voted within a week to petition for a re-run of the 2024 general election—believing they were duped by Keir Starmer and his Labour Party after they allegedly betrayed their manifesto pledges—I found it amusing to see various political pundits criticising this harmless symbolic act online. It’s as if they’d completely forgotten that back in 2016, there were similar, yet far more hysterical, attempts to reverse a public vote.

In fact, it was Keir Starmer who literally attempted to overturn the largest democratic exercise in British history through the courts after Brexit was voted for by the British public in June 2016. Now, I see him laughing off the current petition on the UK Parliament and Government website while being lightly grilled by former BBC broom cupboard presenter Andi Peters on a daytime television show, leaving me wondering if he has missed the irony. For years, he spent his time—by hook or by crook—working on ways to negate the 17.4 million voters who chose to leave the European Union, only now to decide that any protest against his premiership is undemocratic.

And there’s no doubt Starmer would have us back in the European Union in a heartbeat if he could, with a mere swipe of his fountain pen. I’m pretty sure, however, that he’s working out some behind-the-scenes manoeuvres to have the country essentially dragged back in from the cold through the back corridors of Brussels, which is currently imploding due to the growing fractures between European peoples and their governments.

Observing the sheer brazen corruption of Labour (e.g., Lord Ali) during their 148 days in power, along with the accelerationist and insane policy decisions currently being undertaken by Starmer and his government—targeting farmers, students, pensioners, pub landlords, and the white working class (locking them up for social media posts while violent criminals are released early)—it occurs to me that perhaps we need a monarchical intervention to halt this madness before it inflicts further damage on our country.

After all, the Royals must surely serve a purpose beyond merely decorating biscuit tins with their visages; otherwise, perhaps the abolitionists are correct in claiming they’re just a waste of taxpayers’ money.

Now, I’ll admit to not being the biggest fan of King Charles III, as I find him too easily swayed by interests outside his own country (particularly the World Economic Forum and Davos). However, I can envision a narrative power play for him that, if executed, could secure his legacy in the annals of great monarchs, standing alongside Alfred the Great, Elizabeth I, and William III.

It is often said that ill health focuses the mind. Now, as the King recovers from cancer treatment and the country faces peril from the A-Level student political maniacs currently in office, it doesn’t seem entirely beyond the realm of possibility that a canny Royal Advisor might urge Charles to remind Britain—and the world—of his role as the steward of the nation.

And then, you ask, what happens next?

Well, I’ve considered this scenario involving royal prerogative and reserve powers. I believe Charles should dismiss Starmer as Prime Minister, dissolve Parliament, and insist on the emergency formation of a unity government that genuinely serves the interests of the British people. The King would then demand that all parties “sort this absolute mess out once and for all” until proper, grown-up politics is reintroduced. I mean, would anyone seriously suggest we're in any fit or functioning state to have a government at this moment. We’re literally the laughing stock of the world as we plunge headfirst into full-blown Orwellian police state madness.

In so doing this plan, the Royal Family and the Crown’s reputation could be restored, proving they are more than just a brand for tourism and obligatory pageantry. It would demonstrate that, when the nation’s back is against the wall, we can wield our constitutional and monarchical tools of antiquity to save the British public from tyranny.
