Information for you
Britain's hereditary monarchy is the oldest institution of government, dating back to at least the 9-th century. The present Queen -Elizabeth II - succeeded to the throne in 1952. Although she has a largely ceremonial and politically impartial role as head of state, she serves as a personal symbol of national unity.The Queen is alsohead of the Commonwealth and presides over the Church of England.
Britain is a parliamentary democracy, with a constitutional monarch. The House of Commons and the House of Lords with the monarch make upParliament. Parliament is the legislature and the supreme authority. Parliament passes laws, approves taxation and debates the major issues of the day.
The executive consists of the Cabinet of Ministers. The prime Minister heads the Government and appoints ministers, about 20 of whom are in the policy-making Cabinet.
There are two main political parties in Great Britain: the Labour Party and the Conservative Party.
The administration of justice in Britain is independent of both Parliament and the Government. The judiciary determines common law and interprets statute. Every citizen has the right to equal treatment before the law. Less serious cases are tried by lay magistrates inmagistrates' courts and county courts. People accused of more serious crimes are tried in open court by a judge and jury inCrown Court. The House of Lords is the final court of appeal. A person who needs legal advice or representation in court may get help with the costs out of public funds.
