Yes, but much like Jimbo, the Queen's authority rests in the respect others have for her. If she dismissed the Government and dissolved Parliament (she can still do that, right?), how the people of the UK respond determines the ultimate result.

As an anti-monarchist, I would be out there forking the UK anyway if she tried.
