You can 'in theory' all you like; the United Kingdom is still a better place to live than Zimbabwe.
And who is not usbject to the same laws in a
Constitutional Monarchy? (meaning that the Monarch is subject to the Constitution and thus subject to specific laws). If you're refering to the Monarch not being under common law, well in a modern Deomcratic Kingdom like Great Britain she [the Queen] most certainly is. She can be tried for war-crimes etc she is subject to exactly the same laws as we are. And just to pre-counter any arguments that are put forward about her standard of living, go to Malta to see their president or Zimbabwe and she Bob's house.

I would agree. However certain situations in which Parliament would need desolving could prove impossible for the people to actually go about doing this, since parliament technically is the people in representative democracy.
