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?
As I understand a lot of that is complicated. The monarch is technically allowed to throw a tantrum and stall Parliament. I haven't heard of it being done. I suppose it would be an equiv of a fillibuster but so rare as to only be used as a nuclear option during a constitutional crises.
