let us assume the people were elected fair and square. once they got in with a massive majority they started becoming dictators . something like the small 3rd world countries . they issue orders to arrest aponents and protesters. all of parliment is in on this. so now here is the question if the govenor general came on tv or the queen and said she disolved parliment and was taking tempary control of the governing until new elections and calm were there . do you think the police the military and you would follow her or the parliment say the parliment was offering you quite a good prize to follow them . what would you do .?

Right now I'd give you an award for a vivid imagination with no sense to its output.

If the government was arbitrarily arresting opposition and protestors and the Queen dissolved parliament, I would support the Queen because parliament would have lost my confidence. I would hope that the military would also obey the Queen, but in your scenario, it sounds like they might be in on this thing.

I would certainly side with the Queen.
I am a dual citizen (Canada and U.S.), and I would never want this to happen. But people are becoming too pacified these days, and it just might be easier than one thinks for something like this to happen.
