There is the huge role which is being played by Queen as if any of the law or policy is required to be passed then it is necessary that her permission must be taken. If in any of the case permission is not taken then it is not possible to enforce the law within the boundary of UK. Every year Parliament is required to be started in the month of October and November, but it is always started once the speech is delivered by the Queen.

It is one of the stage where where lots of complication can be found because it is always said that argument with opposition party is never a easy task (Kapottos and Youngner, 2015).
