The article's penultimate sentence reads: It will be a massive step towards dethroning democracy in the UK.

That'll be the same 'democracy' in which an unelected person holds vast powers through the the royal prerogative. Slippery bullshitters such as the author who shill about what they perceive is a decline in British democracy always tiptoe around this Mount Everest-sized contradiction by addressing those powers (a unilateral sovereign sanction) by implying they exist technically or in theory but don't in reality by convention. Which really means they do legally exist but are rarely exercised.
