If her judgement is better, then it might be best to leave well enough alone. If worse, then France showed you the way long ago.
It could go one way or the other, but it's hardly the point. The fact is, people voted for politicians to make the decisions, not the Queen. It's not democratic at all if the ministers who were chosen by the people to make the decisions can get overruled by someone who wasn't voted for. At least in the American system, the person who has the power of veto (the President) is elected by the people, and even if the President does veto something, there are ways of overriding the veto itself.
