While I think your general point is probably right, I don't agree with your last point that 'Parliament governs by wielding the power of the monarch". That - to my understanding - is backwards. The power of the monarch is subordinated under Parliament. Parliamentary sovereignty is inherent, not derived from the crown. HMG - not parliament - exercises the royal prerogative (those powers retained by the Crown) on behalf of the monarch. |

In reality, yes. But technically the monarch can veto any Act of Parliament and appoint anyone as PM, though this would last about a day until there was a 'revolution' and the monarch was formally stripped of power.
