CHAPTER 118
SELENE KNEW that the position of Prime Minister was not established by any statute or constitutional document, existing only by a series of conventions , surrounded by tradition, where the monarch appoints as Prime Minister the person who is most able to command the confidence of the House of Commons .
The Prime Minister's position had never been created. It evolved slowly and erratically, over a period of more than three hundred years, through countless Acts of Parliament, political developments, and events in history. The position is therefore best understood from a historical perspective.
The origins of the position are found in the constitutional changes that took place between 1688 and 1720, after a century of civil wars and revolutions , with political power passing from the Sovereign to Parliament , although at no point was the sovereign stripped of his powers. old prerogatives and legally remain the head of state and government, politically it has gradually become necessary for the king or queen to govern through the Prime Minister, who is the leader of the largest party or coalition in the House of Commons, giving the Prime Minister — Minister executive authority over the affairs of State, an example of this is the British Armed Forces which, nominally , have the Monarch as their commander-in-chief, but who actually commands the army and determines defense policies is the First — Minister, with the consent of Parliament.
In the 1830s, the Westminster System of government emerged, the Prime Minister became the primus inter pares or the — first among equals — in the UK Cabinet and Head of Government . The Prime Minister's political position was enhanced by the development of modern political parties, the introduction of mass media and photography. At the beginning of the 20th century, the current figure of the Prime Minister took its form, the position became the prominent position in the constitutional hierarchy vis-à-vis the Sovereign, Parliament and Cabinet.
Before 1902, the Prime Minister could come from the House of Lords , as long as his government had a majority in the House of Commons, but by the 19th century, the power of the traditional aristocracy had plummeted and it became a convention that the Prime Minister Minister would come from the lower house. Thus, as leader of the House of Commons, the Prime Minister saw his powers extended through the Parliament, Act 1911, which marginalized the House of Lords in the law — making process.
With that at stake, Selene now had absolute power, it was just a matter of making the right move, her father had gotten out of her way, leaving her over 50 billion dollars, with that, she would become the owner of all of Europe, surely she would be invited to join the Bilderberg Club and everyone would be at her feet.
It had been a week since the palace was being prepared for the annual ball, even more after two years of pandemic, everyone wanted to know what the monarchy was in store for them that year.
Buckingham Palace Ballroom was designed by Sir James Pennethorne and opened in May 1856 . Interior decoration was overseen by Ludwig Gruner and inspired by Italian Renaissance design .
The Ballroom features the Great Organ provided to George III of the United Kingdom in 1817 for the Brighton Pavillion music room. Construction of the Ballroom was overseen by Queen Victoria's own husband, Prince Albert of Saxe — Coburg and Gotha . The walls are divided by a row of — Raphaelesque — windows and panels and large wallpapered panels, beneath which are a set of tiered stools. The room was completely redesigned in 1907 , under the direction of Edward VII , in the Louis— Arts fashion of a beaux— arts style, with oeil-de-boeuf windows.
The guest list included artists of various genres, politicians and royalty from across Europe.
Renan Carmichael had been invited as the acting Director of MI6, which would be a good opportunity to get the Albion guy.
Today this joke ends...

Renan looked at the agent who was with him and said:
