nowadays? I doubt it.
I heard queen Elizabeth be calling shots from the cut tho
Nah she doesn't at all. All controlled by Parliament, the UK's welfare reform, taxes, immigration policies, decisions whether to go to war,university fees all aspects of the Economy and people's livelihood is decided in parliament.
The Prime Minister and Councillor usually propose something and then the MP's vote in Parliament.
In the UK people hate the monarchs as they don't do anything to be honest, waste tax payers money.
A good example is this year when UK were deciding whether or not to get involved with Syria the Parliament voted 'no'.
Queen ain't really involved in much at all.
