According to your scale though, the Queen would have a higher "political score" than the Prime Minister. That's the issue with simply counting knights. If it doesn't tell you that the Queen does not hold actual power, then it's not a useful ranking.
BM is a lot simpler than the real world, e.g. there are no parliaments in BM, so it's easier to reduce political power to a single number value. Still you make a valid point. The type of government could be factored into the equation. I'd be interested if anybody has any thoughts about what impact government type has on political power. I've only played in a few realms, all monarchies, so I'm not totally familiar with the nuances of different types of government.
