The last monarch to refuse assent to a bill was Queen Anne, when parliament passed a bill against the government's wishes (before the days when one party had a reliable majority). This was so long ago that in reality she cannot. The real constraints on the monarch's power vis a vis parliament were enacted around 1688-90. Look up William III and the Glorious Revolution to see what limits were placed on the king's law-making power. It is very hard to think of a bill so extreme that a monarch could get away with vetoing it.

Yes but the monarch has to give a reason why they don't agree etc etc. However Mr Blair wants that bit of power removed and given to the government.

technically yes because she still rules the country by law but because of the way we have gone the PM now rules with the government. the queen could overrule but never would because it would just be the end of the monarchy for good

No. It is only a government consultation position. There is no monarchical power anymore.

the last time the british queen over-ruled a parliament was when she dissolved a hung parliament in australia, on advice. this led to the republican movement there.
