Unconstitutional royal intrusions

I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings. And I've never been too impressed - Bob Dylan


I am more broke than someone who claims he might be embarrassed.

It's a single thing for BN to accuse Pakatan politicians or pro-Pakatan supporters of lese majeste or being bold or unsavoury to royalty, though it's an additional for inherent monarchies to do that.

Has anyone heard of Queen Elizabeth chiding her PM, any statesman or members of a public ever?

Wait, we needn't go that distant to a white man's country. Let's demeanour during our next door neighbour Thailand. Her King (not a Crown Prince) is very most desired as well as worshiped monarch. Thais are a most fervent monarchists in a world.

And we might ask why?

Only once has he ever publicly taken side, even then in a subtle though effective manner for a great of a public.

Wikipedia has this to say:

In 1992, Bhumibol played a key purpose in Thailand's transition to a approved system. A manoeuvre upon 23 February 1991 returned Thailand back underneath troops dictatorship. After a ubiquitous election in 1992, a majority parties invited General Suchinda Kraprayoon, a personality of a manoeuvre group, to be a Prime Minister. This caused most dissent, that escalated into demonstrations that led to a large number of deaths when a troops was brought in to control a protesters. The incident became increasingly critical as police as well as troops forces clashed with a protesters. Violence as well as riot widespread out in most areas of a capital with rumour upon a difference between armed forces.

Amidst a fear of civil war, Bhumibol intervened. He summoned Suchinda as well as a personality of a pro-democracy movement, late Major General Chamlong Srimuang, to a televised audience, urged them to find a peacef! ul resol ution. At a height of a crisis, a sight of both men appearing together upon their knees ! (in acco rdance with stately protocol) made a clever sense upon a nation, as well as led to Suchinda's resignation before long afterwards.

It was a single of a few occasions in that Bhumibol directly as well as publicly intervened in a domestic conflict. A ubiquitous election was held before long afterward, heading to a civilian government

Mind, when kingship broke BN in Perlis as well as Terengganu in 2008, Pakatan supporters were being stupidly as well as betimes stupid in jubilant during a unconstitutional intrusions (I blogged opposite those stately division opposite a BN's choice of MBs), though when a tables were turned in Perak, as well as newly in Selangor as well as Johor (admittedly suspected as during a instigation of BN), a laughs were upon a other side.

Regardless of whether a unconstitutional stately intrusions were during a responsibility of BN or Pakatan, we have never glory though would only lament.
