  2. POLITICAL SYSTEM • The United Kingdom is a constitutional MONARCHY – it has a monarch (a king or a queen) as its head of State. The monarch has a very little power and can only reign with the support of PARLIAMENT.

  3. PARLIAMENT • two chambers: • the House of Commons • the House of Lords

  4. Parliament and the monarch meet only at the special occasions – coronation of the new monarch or the opening of Parliament.

  5. In reality, the House of Commons is the only one from the three, which has a real power: new bills are introduced and debated there. If the majority of the members are in favour of a bill it goes to the House of Lords to be debated and finally to the monarch to be signed. Only then it becomes law. It must be supported by all three bodies, but the House of Lords has limited power, and the monarch has not refused to sign one since the modern political system began over 200 years ago.

  6. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS

  7. The House of Commons is made up of 650 elected members, known as Members of Parliament (MPs), each of whom represents an area (or constituency) of the United Kingdom – 523 are for England, 38 for Wales, 72 for Scotland, and 17 for Northern Ireland. They are elected at a general election or at a by-election following the death or retirement of an MP.

  8. The chief officer of the House of Commons is the Speaker, elected by the MPs to preside over the House.

  9. A general election must be held every five years and may be held at more frequent intervals. 18 is the minimum voting age, candidates must be 21 or over.

  10. The most important political parties are the Conservative and Labour parties. The party which wins majority of seats forms the Government and its leader usually becomes Prime Minister. The party, which wins the second largest majority of seats, becomes the official Opposition.

  11. The Prime Minister chooses about 20 MPs from his or her party to become Cabinet Ministers. Each minister is responsible for a particular area of government and for a Civil Service department.

  12. THE HOUSE OF LORDS

  13. The House of Lords has more than 1,000 members, although only 250 take an active part in the work of the House. There are 26 Anglican bishops, 950 hereditary peers, 11 judges and 185 life peers and unlike MPs, they do not receive a salary.

  14. They debate a bill after it has been passed by the House of Commons. Changes may be recommended and agreement between the two Houses is reached by negotiation.

  15. The House of Lords is the only non-elected second chamber among all the democracies in the world.

  16. MONARCHY

  17. The powers of the monarch are not defined precisely. Theoretically every act of Government is done in the monarch’s name – every letter sent out by a Government is marked ‘On Her Majesty’s Service’ and she appoints all the Ministers, including the Prime Minister. In reality, everything is done on the advice of the elected Government, and the monarch takes no part in the decision-making process.

  18. LOCAL GOVERNMENT

  19. Parliament in London is responsible for deciding national policy, but many public services are provided by local government. The United Kingdom is divided into administrative areas called ‘counties’, each county has a ‘county town’ where the offices of the local government are located. Local government is responsible for organizing such services as education, libraries, police and fire service, road-building, etc.
