TASK 2. Read the text and say when the party leader is invited by the Queen to form government.
The Election Timetable
The British government is elected for up to five years, unless it is defeated in Parliament on a major issue. The Prime Minister chooses the date of the next General Election, but does not have to wait until the end of the five years. A time is chosen which will give as much advantage as possible to the political party in power. Other politicians and the newspapers try very hard to guess which date the Prime Minister will choose.
About a month before the election the Prime Minister meets a small group of close advisers to discuss the date which would best suit the party.
The date is announced to the Cabinet. The Prime Minister formally asks the Sovereign to dissolve Parliament.
Once Parliament is dissolved, all MPs are unemployed, but government officers continue to function.
Party manifestos are published and campaigning begins throughout the country, lasting for about three weeks with large-scale press, radio and television coverage.
Voting takes place on Polling Day (usually a Thursday). The results from each constituency are announced as soon as the votes have been counted, usually the same night. The national result is known by the next morning at the latest.
As soon as it is clear that one party has a majority of seats in the House of Commons, its leader is formally invited by the Sovereign to form a government.
TASK 3. Find in the text the sentences with the word, read it and translate:
Chooses the date, try very hard to guess, to be announced, to dissolve the parliament, to be unemployed, throughout the country, majority.
Task 4. True or false. If false, give a right variant:
-General elections take place every four year.
-Prime Minister appoints the date of general elections.
-People vote on Tuesday.
-The results of elections are announced next day.
-The leader of a majority party forms a government.
Task 4. Read once again the texts about political parties and elections. Work in pairs and make up a dialogue. You should discuss future elections. One of you support, for example, The Labor Party, the other – the Conservatives. You should prove that your choice is right. For it speak about good points of your party and bad points of the opposite party.
TEXT 4
Read the text and name the duties of the Constitutional court.
