The Queen does have theoretical power to call war, declare peace, to dismiss or to elect a prime minister


cut and paste from wiki :::


Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor) (born 21 April 1926) is Queen of 16 independent nations known as the Commonwealth Realms. These are the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. By the Statute of Westminster 1931 she holds these positions equally; no one nation takes precedence over any other. She is the world's only monarch who is simultaneously Head of State of more than one independent nation, with realms in Europe, North and Central America, the Caribbean, and Oceania. In legal theory she is one of the most powerful heads of state in the world, although in practice she exercises very little executive power personally—especially outside the United Kingdom.

She became Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon upon the death of her father, King George VI, on 6 February 1952. As other colonies of the British Commonwealth (now the Commonwealth of Nations) attained independence from the UK during her reign she acceded to the newly created thrones as Queen of each respective realm so that throughout her 54 years on the throne she has been Monarch of 32 nations. Elizabeth II has seen a number of her former territories and realms leave this shared relationship and become kingdoms under a different dynasty, or republics

Unfortunately No!!! The Queen cant do anything because she holds Ceremonial tasks such as holding birthday parties, national dinners, formal celebrations, and representing England to a high standard (it goes back to the 18th Century British Law). The Prime Minister can do whatever he wants, but behind the scenes he is controlled by his party, so if he do anything that the Labour party dont like then he could be booted out by his own people!!!

The PM is chosen by his or her party (the majority party). Each MP (including the PM) is answerable to the people. In some respects, it's the equivalent of a "Speaker of the House" in the US.

technically the queen, though without control of the military she is largely a figurehead, so though her position is "above" that of the PM, she is powerless to stop him.
