The Greens will put her Maj into a Council House

It's a step in the right direction, but the she should also be on trial for treason. Authorisation of the Iraq war, allowing mass privatisation, allowing the mass looting of the public by private corporations. She has a lot to answer for.

I didn't think the English monarchy had any true power anymore, I know she is involved but I thought she was just a rubber stamp these days.

A rubber stamp

I wonder if shes moves to a council flat if she'll get a (tramp stamp) of the House of Windsor on her ass cheek.

That's one of the clever ways that the monarchy is spun. They are very powerful. Every statute is signed off by the monarchy including the illegal wars. The Queen meets weekly for updates from the secret services. Even today Charles sends letters to people essentially saying that the Crown has the rights to any fracked oil beneath their properties. Despite having massive quantities of land and billions in wealth they still demand millions in state subsidies which makes them the biggest welfare scroungers of all.

I won't go into it too much as I have gone over this ground many times before, but the monarchy is not only a justification for mass inequality, but is immoral and in an age of austerity completely hypocritical. It isn't only the Royals, but an entire sector of the landed class that cannot be justified in any way. If things are to be privatised, they should have been first to go.

They can afford to look after themselves and after their stolen land and wealth is returned to the people who are suffering needlessly.
