The medieval conquest and subsequent annexation of Wales by the Kingdom of England, followed by the union between England and Scotland in 1707 to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. The union in 1801 of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Five-sixths of Ireland seceded from the UK in 1922, leaving the present formulation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Therefore the UK of GB and NI is only about 96 years old.

Who can ask for the suspension? Are they still allowed to refuse as Geo V did? Aren't the Royals technically eligible to vote now since they became subject to tax? |

Re: Help stat Queen Elizabeth of England.
The Royals are supposed to remain above politics. There is nothing that forbids them to vote, but I have no idea if that is connected with the tax reason you give.

There have been two elections since that act passed. 2015 was caused by the expiry of the five-year term. 2017 was voted for by the Commons; the PM hoped to increase her majority, but instead lost it. Quote:
Edit: Buckingham Palace is in a safe Conservative seat.
