At first, this seems something of a miracle. Here is a British government (and a Labour one at that) willing to give up power-- something that is on a par with the Sun coming up in the West. But on closer examination, it turns out to be something completely different. If Mr. Brown were really giving up the royal prerogative, he'd be giving it back to the person in whose name he does the selecting: Her Majesty the Queen. Instead, he is embarking on something far more radical:
Mr Brown wants his government to be seen as representing "all faiths and all cultures," and not tied significantly to the Church of England. His proposals raise the possibility that he might take steps to remove the right of bishops to take their seats in the House of Lords.In other words, Mr. Brown isn't giving up the royal prerogative, he's taking the first step towards disestablishing the Anglican Church in favour of more of the poison of multiculturalism.
Apparently Mr. Brown's idea of continuity is to be as anti-British as his predecessor.
