There are re­al­ly three rea­sons for re­tain­ing the Privy Coun­cil:

�2 Be­cause our so­ci­ety has not demon­strat­ed po­lit­i­cal ma­tu­ri­ty. Take a look at the be­hav­iour of gov­ern­ment of­fi­cials in Par­lia­ment.

�2 It would be im­pos­si­ble for any prime min­is­ter or ex­ec­u­tive pres­i­dent to or­der his at­tor­ney gen­er­al to file charges against a sit­ting Law Lord who is not in agree­ment with them (the Ex­ec­u­tive). Or­di­nary peo­ple would stand a bet­ter chance of jus­tice.

Man­ning is re­spon­si­ble for run­ning the coun­try day to day. He is not al­lowed to ar­bi­trar­i­ly make pol­i­cy.
