The United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy, which is a state where there is a King or Queen who is Head of State, but has no real power. The King or Queen must have the support of the Parliament. The King or Queen signs all the laws passed in the Parliament, but in practice he or she never refuses to sign the laws. The monarch almost never meets the UK Parliament except on formal occasions like the State Opening of Parliament after the summer holidays.

The House of Commons and the House of Lords

The Parliament of the United Kingdom consists of two parts or chambers: the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

In the House of Commons there are 650 Members of Parliament (MPs). Members of Parliament are elected directly. There are more than 1,000 members in the House of Lords, but only about 250 of them are active members. The people of the United Kingdom do not elect the members of the House of Lords. Some members are “hereditary peers”, who are members because their parents or relatives were members, and others are “life peers”. A peer is a person who is part of the British nobility (e.g. a duke, marquis, viscount, earl or baron). Life peers are appointed by the king or queen on the advice of the Prime Minister.

New laws (or “Bills”) are introduced in either the House of Commons or the House of Lords for discussion. When both Houses have agreed on the content of a Bill it then goes to the reigning monarch for approval (known as the “Royal Assent”). Once the Royal Assent is given, the Bill becomes an Act of Parliament and is law.

The UK electoral system

You must be 18 years old to vote in the UK. There are local elections every four years. These elections decide which political party will administer the local government.

Every five years there is a General Election where people vote for Members of Parliament. The political party with most MPs forms a government.

The leader of this party becomes Prime Minister and he or she forms a Cabinet of about 20 Ministers.

There are three main parties in the UK at the moment: the Labour Party (centre-left), the Liberal and Social Democratic Party (centre), and the Conservative Party (centre-right).
