Senior members of the United Kingdom's ruling Conservative party are so concerned about the country leaving the European Union without a deal that they are planning to go over the new Prime Minister's head and appeal directly to the Queen
Queen Elizabeth has built her reputation by remaining studiously impartial, and won't want any part of the move. But the politicians could theoretically force her to enter the controversy by using an arcane and rarely used parliamentary procedure called the"humble address."
But that would put the Queen in an awkward position; her likely response would be to bounce it straight back to the government, according to leading constitutional experts. Meanwhile Robert Hazell, professor of government and constitution at University College London, says the strategy is a complete non-starter.
