Текст 1

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a constitutional monarchy. According to her constitution the governing of the nation is vested in the Sovereign and three coordinate branches - the legislative, the executives and the judicial. Thus the monarchy in Great Britain is not absolute but constitutional, the Queen's powers are limited by Parliament.

Parliament is the legislative branch of Government It consists of the House of Commons (the Commons) and the House of Lords (the Lords). Its sessions are held in the Palace of Westminster.

There are many political parties in Great Britain: you name a party and they have it. but due to the so-called majority electoral system only two major political parties may win a majority in the House of Commons. In Great Britain these parties are the Labour Party and the Conservative Party (The Tory).

All the organs of mass media aid the state in strengthening the idea that the bipartisan system is the only possible one. The В B.C., for instance, gives only the two major parties liberal programme time for party political broadcasts.

The political party which has a majority in a newly elected House of Commons is the ruling party: its leader becomes Prime Minister and forms a government which includes only members from his party (executive branch of government). Thus, the party which is in majority in the House of Commons possesses practically both legislative and executive powers.

The party which is second in majority in the Commons is called the Opposition. The Opposition, the so called shadow cabinet, is supposed to criticise the ruling party.

Note: At present the Queen of Great Britain is Elisabeth II. her husband is Philip Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh (герцог Эдинбургский), their tour children are Charles (the Prince of Wales -принц Уэльский Чарльз), Princess Ann, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward
