The UK is a constitutional monarchy. That means that it has a monarch (a king or a queen) as its Head of the State. Now it is the Queen Elizabeth II. Everything today is done in the Queen’s name: it is her government, her armed forces, her law courts, etc. She opens new annual sessions of the Parliament with a speech. But in practice the Queen reigns but does not rule. Her power is limited by the Parliament.
The Parliament consists of the Queen, the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
The House of Commons plays the major role in law-making. It consists of Members of
Parliament (called MPs for short). Each of them represents an area in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
The House of Commons is made up of 650 elected members. The party which wins the majority at general elections forms the Government. The Leader of this party becomes Prime Minister. The party which wins the second largest number of seats becomes the official Opposition. The Prime Minister forms the Cabinet (a committee of leading Ministers). The members of the Cabinet belong to one party only.
The capital of the UK is London.
