In the United Kingdom, the constitutional structure balances the role of the Sovereign with the sovereignty of Parliament. If we denote the total legislative influence in the House of Commons as $L_{total} = 100\%$, and the executive authority of the Prime Minister is symbolized as $E_{PM} > 0$, the monarch's direct legislative power is defined as $M_{leg} = 0$. Based on this, explain the role of the monarch in the British political system.

Analyze the impact of the Brexit referendum held in 2016. In a short paragraph, explain the core socio-economic consequences for the UK. Use the following data points to structure your argument: the fluctuation of the British Pound ($£$) which dropped by approximately $10\%$ against the US Dollar ($USD$) shortly after the vote, the implementation of new trade barriers leading to an increase in operational costs for businesses, and the ongoing debate regarding the Northern Ireland Protocol. Connect these points to the geopolitical concept of 'Global Britain'.

Analyze the constitutional tensions arising from the Northern Ireland Protocol. Specifically, examine the friction between the commitment to 'Global Britain'—which prioritizes regulatory autonomy ($A_{UK}$)—and the operational necessity of the 'Windsor Framework' to maintain the integrity of the Good Friday Agreement. In your analysis, explain how the requirement for Northern Ireland to remain aligned with EU Single Market rules for goods ($S_{EU}$) creates a 'democratic deficit' where local businesses must adhere to regulations ($R_{EU}$) set in Brussels without political representation. Discuss the paradox of creating a 'de facto' trade border in the Irish Sea to preserve an open border on the island of Ireland ($B_{open}=0$ where $B$ represents border friction). Your response must be approximately 250 words and employ high-level terminology such as 'regulatory divergence', 'dual-market access', and 'constitutional paradox'.
