That arrangement has always presupposed strong governments with clear mandates. The constitution is so poorly adapted to coalitions and minority governments that some legal scholars question whether the Queen should address Parliament on behalf of “her” new government if there is a risk that it will be toppled within a few weeks or months.
此外，英国政治制度也将无以为继。英国的不成文宪法完全基于传统和先例。这一安排永远需要以拥有明确权力的强势政府为前提。宪法极不适应联合政府和少数派政府，一些法律学者甚至质疑，如果政府不出几周或几个月就会被推翻，那么女王是否应该宣布议会代表“她的”新政府？
