"The Royal perogative is now in the hands of The Prime Minister and His Government, not the current Sovereign. The Royal perogative should be returned to The Sovereign absolutely. Thus ensuring that serious matters requiring the Royal Perogative remain the responsibility of The Sovereign. The right to declare War falls under the Royal perogative as a significant example, and should be returned to The Sovereign. Thus accountability for actions requiring The Royal perogative would reside and remain with The Royal Sovereign."
Why? Why, instead of leaving these powers in the hands of the elected, should we return them to the hands of someone who inherited?
And for that matter, have you asked Her Majesty if she wants them back? I've just had a look at Wikipedia, which has a nice description of the powers included in the Royal Prerogative, and I'm not sure, if I were an 80-year-old woman, I'd want the responsibility to "keep the peace" over the country, for example ...!
