Government

British Culture
Parliament is where politicians
(MPs) meet to decide laws and
 make decisions for the United
Kingdom. It is not the same as
 the Government (which runs
 the country). One of the jobs
  Parliament does is to check
    that the Government is
 running the country properly.
The main functions of Parliament
                  are:
              to pass laws
  to provide, by voting for taxation,
the means of carrying on the work of
              government
 to scrutinise government policy and
 administration, including proposals
            for expenditure
to debate the major issues of the day
Parliament is made up of three parts:
The House of Lords is made
    up of people who have
  inherited family titles and
 those who have been given
    titles because of their
outstanding work in one field
          or another.
The House of Commons has
659 members who have been
 elected by local residents to
   represent an area of the
  country in Parliament. The
   members are called MPs
  (Members of Parliament).
The House of Lords and the
House of Commons meet in
 the Houses of Parliament,
  located next to the River
     Thames in London.
The Parliament and
   Government mean two
      different things.

 Parliament represents the
            people
Government runs the country
  and is also elected by the
            people.
The leader of the Government is
        the Prime Minister.
 The new Prime Minister chooses a
  team of people from Parliament
who will run the country with him.
   There are normally about 100
    people in a UK government.
  The Government is also different
from the rest of the party who won
           the election.
At present, the Prime Minister is David
   Cameron, who is the leader of the
  Conservative Party and Nick Clegg,
 leader of the Liberal Democrats is his
                deputy.
 The Prime Minister is the head of the
            UK Government
     The Prime Minister heads the
 Government and appoints Ministers,
   who head individual Government
             departments.
Although the Queen is no
    longer responsible for
  governing the country, she
   carries out a great many
 important tasks on behalf of
          the nation.
See also our Calendar of Royal
            Duties
As Head of State, the Queen goes
  on official State visits abroad.
   She also invites other world
  leaders to come to the United
    Kingdom. During their visit,
   Heads of State usually stay at
      Buckingham Palace, or
 sometimes at Windsor Castle or
   Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
The Queen is also the Head of
 the Armed Forces. She is the
 only person who can declare
  when the country is at war
     and when war is over,
although she must take advice
  from her government first.
