  1. No..She is merely a constitutional figurehead with no rights of legislature whatsoever.

    ALL laws and Judicial punishments are organised IN her name,but that is where it ends-in name only.

    In essense,she exists merely as an exingency(in some ways)to our un-written Constitution


  2. Her Majesty is a very nice girl but doesn't have a lot to say...

  3. No

    Liz can't even vote

  4. Yes, if you continue to ignore spell checker for much longer.

    (Queen)

    (implement)

    (beheading)

  5. To contradict and to correct what the poster above ▲ said, the queen has absolutely NO power whatsoever - she is a constitutional monarch which mean she is a merely ornamental, though less useful than an ornament - at least ornaments can be nice to look at!

  6. Worst than ornaments. There shouldnt be any royalty at all. We should never look up on other humans as masters.

  7. No

  8. No.

    The Royal Family has no political power in government. They can not vote nor join a politial party. They can't even really form political opinions.

  9. Beheading of people who cannot spell.

  10. No.   The queen can force a government to do practically nothing.

    Even the government can't re-introduce capital punishment.

  11. Only of ignorant tourists ......

  12. the Queen of BRITAIN has such powers she can overrule anything the Government has established. Although she now takes a back seat and doesnt interfere with politics, it has been known for her to rarely intervene on behalf of the British public.

    Although the last execution was held in 1964, capital punishment was abolished in 1998 for all crimes (previously was still viable for treason, mutiny etc)

    .

    However, it is entirely possible for the Queen to reinstate capital punishment should she choose to

    and steve learn your monarchy, the queen is still a ruling monarch,  she just doesnt use her powers like she used to. she can and has ordered the Government to do something they didnt want to (like hold a inquest) just look at following website, the Government act on BEHALF of the Queen, not INSTEAD of her

  13. No. The Queen cannot force the Parliament to introduce any Laws and Acts. Under a constitutional monarchy, the Queen or any British monarch for that matter, has no power or authority to interfere with politics and enforce laws. The Queen's powers are exercised upon the advice of her prime minister. She does however possess certain reserve powers, which she may exercise at her own discretion.

    In the UK, the monarch has numerous theoretical personal prerogatives. In practice, however, with the exception of the appointment of a prime minister, which is done with every prime minister, there are few circumstances in modern British government where these could be justifiably exercised; they have rarely been exercised in the last century. These powers could be exercised in an emergency such as a constitutional crisis. The monarch's personal prerogatives are:

    - The refusal to dissolve Parliament when requested by the Prime Minister.

    - To appoint a Prime Minister of her own choosing.

    - The dismissal of a Prime Minister and his Government on the Monarch's own authority.

    - The refusal of the Royal Assent.

    - The refusal of the "Queen's Consent," where direct monarchical assent is required for a bill affecting, directly or by implication, the prerogative, hereditary revenues—including ultimus haeres, treasure trove, and bona vacantia—or the personal property or interests of the Crown to be heard in Parliament.

    It has long been established in the uncodified Constitution of the United Kingdom that political power is ultimately exercised by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, of which the Sovereign is a non-partisan component, along with the House of Lords and the House of Commons, and by the Prime Minister and Cabinet. Thus, as the modern British monarchy is a constitutional one, the Sovereign's role is in practice limited to non-partisan functions (such as being the fount of honour).

    In practice, political power is exercised today through Parliament and by the Prime Minister and Cabinet. The sovereign also holds the title of Supreme Governor of the established Church of England. The monarch holds a weekly audience with the Prime Minister, as well as regular audiences with other members of the Cabinet. The monarch may express his or her views, but, as a constitutional ruler, must ultimately accept the Prime Minister's and Cabinet's decisions.

  14. No, we don't have be-headings here.  And anyway the Queen of England has virtually no political powers at all.
