    This is the structure of the english government. The current Monarch is her majesty the Queen Elizabeth II, the Prime Minister is David Cameron.

    The Queen:

    The Queen is the official Head of State. yet the fact that Britain has a constitutional monarchy only gives the Queen symbolical power. Actually, the power belongs to Parliament.  

     

    The Parliament:

    The Parliament is where politicians (MPs) meet to make decisions for the United Kingdom. It is not the same as the Government (which runs the country). The main task the Parliament has is to make sure that the Government is running the country properly but its main functions are: 

    • to vote laws
    • to provide, by voting for taxation
    • to check on the country's policy and admisnistration 
    • to debate the current major issues 

    Parliament is constituted three parts:

    1. The Queen
    2. The House of Lords
    3. The House of Commons

     

     

    The Government:

    The Government and the Parliament are two different entities, with different functions. 

    • The Parliament represents the British people
    • Government runs the country and is elected by the people
    • Being a Member of the Parliament (MP) is not the same as being in Government. The political party that has more seats has more power than the others and therefore rules.
