The political system of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
The United Kingdom is a constitutional or parliamentary monarchy. It means that it has a monarch (either a queen or a king) as its Head of the State but the monarch has very little power. The Queen (or King) reigns but she (he) doesn’t rule. Parliament and the existent government have the power. Parliament and the monarch have different roles and they meet together on symbolic occasions.
The present British monarch is Queen Elizabeth. She has been reigning since 1952 and the next in line to the throne in her son, Charles, the Prince of Wales, and then his son, Prince William of Wales.
Britain is a democracy. Men and women over 18 have the right to vote. They have the right to elect a Member of Parliament for their electoral area. Members of Parliament are the representatives of different parties. The party that wins forms the government. The leader of this party becomes the Prime Minister. At present the Prime Minister is David Cameron.
