[MR] opinion on peerage...

[Becky McEllistrem]

Can we say "solely the opinion of the Crown"?

If the entire order says no and the Crown says yes does that mean the member is inducted?  I can't believe that approach doesn't have repercussions - ie going against the will of the order.

I would believe that the Crown has a veto but I don't think we can say any polling order is solely the opinion of the Crown.  That's why the polling process is in place.
