• The monarch serves as the head of state with ceremonial duties, while the Prime Minister leads the government.
• Parliament, consisting of the House of Commons and House of Lords, is the supreme legislative authority.
• The House of Commons, with 650 elected MPs, is the primary law-making body.
• Elections use a first-past-the-post system, held at least every five years.

The British Parliament is at the heart of the UK's political system, serving as the highest authority in the country. It consists of two chambers: the House of Commons and the House of Lords, along with the monarch. All three elements must agree to pass legislation, emphasizing the system of checks and balances.
The House of Commons, with its 650 Members of Parliament (MPs), is the primary legislative body. Each MP represents a constituency in the UK, elected through a first-past-the-post system. Elections are held at least every five years, called by the monarch on the advice of the Prime Minister.
Definition: Constituency - An electoral district represented by a Member of Parliament in the UK political system.
The House of Lords, currently with about 700 members, plays a role in introducing new laws, examining bills, and investigating European matters. However, its power is limited compared to the Commons, as it can only delay bills for up to a year.
The monarch, while part of Parliament, primarily serves a ceremonial role. They represent the UK and its traditions, giving royal assent to bills passed by Parliament. This structure reflects the UK's unwritten constitution, which consists of laws and conventions that have evolved over time.
Example: The UK government system is often depicted as a triangle of power, with Parliament (legislative), Government (executive), and the Supreme Court (judiciary) forming the three corners, each with distinct roles in maintaining the rule of law and democratic governance.
The UK political system is a complex structure balancing tradition and modern democracy. At its core is the monarch, who serves as the official head of state with primarily representative functions. The monarch signs bills passed by Parliament, making them law, but does not hold actual political power.
The government, led by the Prime Minister UK, forms the executive branch. The Prime Minister, typically the leader of the party with the most seats in the House of Commons, heads the Cabinet, which consists of about 20 key ministers overseeing various government departments.
Parliament is the highest authority in the UK, comprising two chambers: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The House of Commons, with 650 elected Members of Parliament (MPs), is the primary legislative body. MPs are elected through a first-past-the-post system in constituencies across the country.
Vocabulary: First-past-the-post system - An electoral system where the candidate with the most votes in each constituency wins the seat, regardless of whether they have a majority of votes cast.
The House of Lords, with approximately 700 members, scrutinizes bills passed by the House of Commons. Unlike the Commons, Lords are not elected but are appointed or inherit their positions.
Highlight: The British system of government is often described as a "parliamentary democracy within a constitutional monarchy," reflecting the balance between democratic processes and historical traditions.
