@atomicpoet Sure, but in that case and the 2 cases before it, the GG is simply the tie-breaker/decider of protocol for when the legislature is in a situation to which there are no clearly defined rules of protocol. Yeah, the role is granted authority by the crown, but its not like Liz had anything to do with it. Its a bit like the Congressional Parliamentarian - it too is an appointed position, they interpret the vague rulebook written by the crusty old dudes 300 yrs ago when situations arise.
