They wouldn't know how to do it anyway.They don't own appropriate buildings, all the gear and experience needed for such an even. They surely would have to call on Anglican expertise to help, tell them what to do, or most probably take over the job. Let's face it, the Baptists, for instance, don't know how to do coronations.

Arguably a point to their credit, theologically speaking.
We like to think so...

There has been a fair bit of grand-standing from politicians about the women bishops vote. e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20433152
But imagine if parilament DID actully wade in and make the CofE appoint women bishops*
Would this be any different to Henry VIII making the church accept him as its supreme head in 1534?
What if parliament got a taste for for intevening in church matter and insisted on gay bishops, gay marriage in church or decided that reading St Johns gospel is not allowed "because it's anti-Semitic"...(to make up a few random examples...)
*Despite all the speeches I find it hard to beleive that Parliament would actually intervene, but no politicain is going to pass up the chance for a nice sound bite, with no risk of any cost...

OK.
I broke the rule by mentioning a "dead horse" topic leading to another member to draw a conclusion as to what my view the dead horse in question might be (I now more fully understand the epithet "Dead horse")
Therefore I withdraw the examples I, foolishly, gave and merely ask:
"What if parilament interevened in other areas of the churches life with Parliaments agenda, rather than any though of the bible/tradition/reason that traditionally underpins the way the CofE consdiers such matters?"
