The queen is NOT involved in the running of state. The affairs of state are managed for her.
She’s is reminded of this every opening of parliament when the door is slammed shut in the face of her representative, Black Rod.
This bargain has been the basis of a stable and democratic form of government for 371 years.
I see no advantage in having an elected “figure head” for head of state if they wield no power.
