The UK is a constitutional monarchy, headed by the Queen. But her Power is not absolute. She acts only on the advice of the ministers and Parliament. There is no written Constitution in GB. Parliament in GB has existed since 1265 and it’s the oldest parliament in the world. It consists of 2 chambers: The House of Lords and the House of Commons. The House of Lords consists of 1000 peers who are not elected by the people. The House of Commons is a nation-wide representative body which is elected by the people at a general election, within 5 years of the last election. The Government is headed by a Prime Minister. After the general election the Queen appoints the Head of the Government – as a rule the leader of the party having the majority in the House of Common. The country has a multiparty system. The largest of the parties are the Conservatives (the Tory), the Liberal (the Whigs) and the Labour Party. There are two addresses in London that the whole world knows. One is 10 Downing Street, where the Prime Minister lives. The other is Buckingham Palace. Its two palaces, not one. It’s a family house, where children play and grow up. It’s also the place where presidents, kings and politicians go to meet the Queen. Buckingham Palace is like a small town, with a police station, two post offices, a hospital, a bar, two sports clubs, a disco, a cinema and a swimming pool.. After breakfast, every day the queen reads The Times. Every Tuesday evening, she meets the Prime Minister. They talk about world news. When the Queen invite people for dinner or to the ceremonial events, the ladies, who visits her, should take on their hats and gloves. During the first and second courses, the Queen speaks to the person on her left and then she speaks to the person on her right for the rest of the meal. When the Queen finishes her food, everybody finishes and it’s time for the next course!
