Political System of Great Britain

Great Britain is a parliamentary monarchy. The King is formally at the head of the state. Everything is done in Ring’s name. But in fact the country is ruled by the Parliament consisting of two chambers (houses): the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The House of Commons is the lower House and the House of Lords is the upper one. The Prime-Minister is head of the Government.
The members of the House of Lords are not elected by the population. The head of the House of Lords is the Lord Chancellor. Near the throne of Lord Chancellor stands a special seat called the Woolsack. The Woolsack symbolizes the wealth of Great Britain.This tradition dates back to the time when Great Britain became rich for its textile and wool industry.
The members of the House of Commons are elected for a period of 5 years. The House of Commons makes the laws for the country. The members of the House of Commons belong to the different political parties and the Government of the country is formed by the party which has the greatest number of members elected to Parliament.
The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy. That means it has a monarch at the head of the state. But the King’s power is not absolute. The monarch reigns with the support of Parliament. The was the saying "The Queen reigns but doesn’t rule". In practice, legislation is dominated by the Prime Minister and the Cabi­net, who initiate virtually all proposed bills and who are politically re­sponsible for the administration of the law and the affairs of the na­tion. The power of the Crown to veto legislation has not been exercised in over 280 years.
When the Parliament begins its work the Ring makes a speech in the House of Lords. This ceremony is significant and picturesque.
