Who has more power Queen or Prime Minister?

Answer 1

According to the Constitution, all public power (executive, legislative and judicial) is created and commanded by the Queen. The Prime Minister is, in theory, a counsellor who advises her. In practice, it is a more complex situation, because the UK is a democracy, so public will must be law. So, more or less, the Prime Minister and the Cabinet take the executive decisions, but it is the Queen, through the Privy Council, who makes those decisions effective. She is not forced to accept all ministerial decisions, this is why she meets the Prime Minister once a week to discuss matters of State and advise him. This is the reason why the Executive is called Her Majesty's Government, to indicate it is her who governs and has the power, not the ministers. Nowadays the UK is a strong democracy, so the Queen will only interfere when the Government behave improperly.

Now, taking into the account the prime minister is appointed by the Queen and the Queen is also the head of Parliament and Courts, she has more authority than the PM.
In the United Kingdom, it might seem that the Queen is just a figurehead which is contrary to the realism of British politics. The Prime Minister is the head of "Her Majesty's Government. According to the constitution, the Queen has the power to:

to dismiss and appoint a Prime Minister (she may choose a Prime Minister of her own choice, though nominally she appoints the individual most capable of commanding the House of Commons); to dismiss and appoint other ministers; to summon, prorogue and dissolve Parliament; to grant or refuse Royal Assent to bills (making them valid and law; to commission officers in the Armed Forces; to command the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom; to appoint members to the Queen's Council; to issue and withdraw passports; to grant Prerogative of mercy (though Capital Punishment is abolished, this power is still used to remedy errors in sentence calculation); to grant honors; to create corporations via Royal Charter. She also has the power to shape foreign policy by: the power to ratify and make treaties; to declare War and Peace; to deploy the Armed Forces overseas; to recognize states; to credit and receive diplomats

Even though the United Kingdom has no single constitution document, in October 2003, in order to keep themselves more transparent, the Government published the above list as the monarchs powers.

Answer 2

The answer as to who has more power out of the Prime Minister and the Monarch largely depends on whether you are considering practical power or constitutional power. In terms of the constitution, the Monarch (Queen) has a lot more power: she is commander-in-chief of the armed forces, she appoints the Prime Minister, can dissolve parliament at her will, can grant pardons to prisoners and must sign all legislation before it is made into a law.

However the Prime Minister has practical power. He acts as the de facto commander-in-chief of the armed forces (controls the army in coordination with the Secretary of State for Defence), controls government policy and makes domestic decisions. There is cross-over with power; the Prime Minister can declare war with the support of parliament, but technically the Monarch has the power to overrule any decision made. The monarch also has the ability to reject any bills that are sent for royal assent, so therefore controls all legislation

Answer 3

The British government, and indeed the whole of parliament have much more power than Queen Elizabeth II. The monarchy had all the power a thousand years ago, but gradually that power has been removed.

Today the Queen really only has power about royal matters, although technically all new laws require 'royal assent', the agreement of the Queen. But this has never been refused. The queen has less power. Even though laws have to be run by her and checked by her she is only allowed to decline a law twice a year.

Answer 4

No, the Queen has more power than the President since directly affects the formation and regulation of the government (including its executive and legislative branches). However, the Queen usually does not act on her powers.

==========================

(A second opinion) The queen does not act on her powers, because she has good cause to fear that she would lose her position if she tried to be a real power. Because she does not exercise the old powers that Victoria had, she has lost them. She can not veto acts of Parliament. She can not order military action all over the world. She can not raise taxes. She can not send out foreign aid to the countries she favors. Summit meeting as held with the prime minister and not with the queen. She is a figure-head, some say an anachronism.

Answer 5

The Prime Minister holds the political power. The Monarch (currently Queen Elizabeth II) holds the constitutional power, and it is solely at her discretion that the Prime Minister is formally appointed to head the government. The Queen is also Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom.

Answer 6

The Queen has no power, or any say in the day to day politics of UK. She (and the entire Royal Family) are ceremonial only. She is not allowed to interfere with the governing of the country. If she did, it would cause a huge constitutional crisis.

Answer 7

no she doesnt
