HRM Queen Elizabeth II is officially non-political. She does not participate in political debate, and her official roles in the government include actions such as the official Opening of Parliament, official appointment of the Prime Minister (after his party has won election), commissioning officers of the armed forces, and granting pardons and reprieves. The Queen maintains distance from everyday political exercises.

The official role of Sovereign is to represent the British people and to only involve itself in government if the government is getting out-of-hand and becoming harmful to the people; in her long reign as Queen, Her Majesty has never had to take any such drastic measures. It is thought that the Queen is a moderate conservative, although she and her family members have spoken out numerous times in defense of the poor and underprivileged in Britain.


The short answer is, no one is really sure.
