The constitution doesn't give the king such sweeping powers. By reviving the house on his own he signals he still has absolute power to make and unmake such stupendous decisions on his own.

He can use the time to make covert manipulations. He can try to divide the parties, he can even use the army again.

Morally and constitutionally, the king is getting weaker.

It was a missed opportunity. He was a royal but he didn't expect to be king, so he was also a commoner. He could have given a new thrust to the monarchy.

They've been legislating from the bench and they've been inventing various broad sweeping powers or inventing policy that they find intuitively in the Constitution which to any clear-minded person is not there at all.

The king has only one choice -- accept the reality and postpone the municipal elections as it alone would create a minimum ground for a dialogue with political parties.
