Bill has to understand the limitations of the underlying approach. He's not dumb.

Yet it seems like he's convinced himself that iterating this autocomplete-on-steroids technology will deliver something qualitatively different than anything we've seen so far.

How can you have been a minister of the crown and so fundamentally misunderstand how our government works?

The Monarch acts on the advice of the Prime Minister. Full stop.

We've had entire constitutional crises *in this country* over this very issue. You *do not* want the alternative.
