To my understanding, however right it may be, they are nothing but figure heads politically, i know they command high respect and are basically above the laws of England, but if they want to make it law that everyone has to wear purple on wednesday, do they actually have that authority? if they dont, then whats the big deal? People like them, and wheres the harm? They do good from this Americans eyes, just as figureheads.
She opens Parliament, sounds like a formality, The PM has to be allowed in, once again a formality it appears, as he/she is elected by popular vote, could the queen really say no? (Has that happened recently?)

It's important to remember that the monarch can also dissolve parliament as she sees fit - even before an election. The idea is that she has the power to overturn any potential dictatorships before they occur.
Essentially she's our last line of defence, much like a presidential veto. Unfortunately like the veto the power is unlikely to ever be exercised since it would result in anarchy.
Another reason why the democratic systems in this country need to be overhauled
