Under the UK parliamentary system, there is virtually nothing that can stop the new governing party from doing everything it wants to do during the next five yearss, especially with its huge majority in the House of Commons. There are no mid-term elections, no divided government, and no equivalent of the Supreme Court. The Labor Party received only one-third of the votes, but got 66 percent of the seats. They will try to enact a radical program for which they have no mandate -
That's OK, let them show us their brilliant governing. We all know the outcome in advance. The people of the UK have only got a taste of what's coming and it will come good and hard.
IIRC the King/Queen can “dismiss” the Prime Minister. Queen Elizabeth “dismissed” Australia’s Prime Minister some years ago...1960s/1970s.

Within a few weeks, the Labor manifesto will be presented to the King for his acceptance (which has always been forthcoming since Cromwell), and will then be put up in Parliament for legislation. It will pass, since Labor now has a super majority.
Parliamentary governments are built to be activist legislatures and executives. Our Federal system was always designed to prevent action until public demand grows so large that it can no longer be avoided.
Manifestos for Labor and the Conservatives are attached.
