Does the Queen of England rule England?

Answer 1

No. The head of the British government is the Prime Minister. The Queen is head of state and her functions are largely formal and ceremonial. ------------------------- Note that England does not have a devolved government.

Answer 2

No, the Prime Minister is in charge. The Queen appoints a member of the House of Commons to become the Prime Minister after each election. Since the Prime Minister has to be supported by the majority of the House (or else he will be removed by vote), the process is a mere formality and the leader of the ruling party in the House always gets appointed, unless no party has a majority.

The Queen's job is to represent the country, its traditions and its values. She is in charge of some issues like the Order of Precedence, which has no impact on the running of the country.

It should be noted that the Queen is in charge of the United Kingdom, which includes England, but also Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Answer 3

No, the Queen is the head of State, the government which is elected by the people rule.
