The Political System of the uk

The history of the UK as a state started in the 20th century, when Great Britain and Northern Ireland merged into the United Kingdom. Before this period Great Britain existed as a union of England, Scotland and Wales. By the form of government it is a constitutional monarchy. It means that the king or Queen reign but do not rule. The three basic branches of British political system are the legislative, the executive and the judicial powers.

The highest body of the legislative power is the Parliament which is made up of the two chambers of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, the House of Commons and the House of Lords, as well as in the Scottish parliament and Welsh and Northern Ireland assemblies.

The executive power in the country is represented by Her Majesty’s Government, on behalf of and by the consent of the Monarch, as well as by the governments of Scotland and Wales, and the Executive of Northern Ireland. The head of the state is the monarch, who reigns but does not rule.

The judicial branch is independent of the executive and the legislature. The highest national court is the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.

The main law of the country is the Constitution, which is not one written document, it consists of the set of laws and principles under which the United Kingdom is governed.

The local bodies of state power are county and borough Councils.
