This is what comes from having your head of state effectively appoint the Prime Minister, if it was just left to the house of commons to appoint the prime minister it would be much simpler.
But it is the House of Commons that effectively appoints the PM, all the Queen does it okay who ever it is - her role is nothing more than ritual.

It works alright when you have a two- or 2½-party system with support divided geographically.
