The UK had Thatcher, experienced decades of decline, and left the EU under Queen Elizabeth. It's not that things are suddenly worse under Charlie; they've been getting continually worse for a long time.
Speaking like the royal family get a choice in what Parliament does or has the people vote on
They only "officially" dont, but in fact they wield a huge amount of power over the government, there have been several scandals about it in recent years
E.g?
Eg https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jun/04/black-spider-memos-second-batch-of-prince-charless-letters-released
Even more of a reason the conversation is moot
And had another female PM for like a week, at which point Liz died.
No middle ground.
