The
state system of Great Britain - Государственный
устрой
Великобритании
Great Britain is a parliamentary monarchy. The power of the Queen is limited by
the Parliament. It means that the sovereign reigns but does not rule. Britain
does not have a written constitution, but a set of laws. Parliament is the most
important authority in. Britain. It comprises the House of Commons, the House
of Lords and the Monarch in her constitutional role. In reality the House of
Commons is the only one of the three, which has true power.
The Monarch serves formally as head of state. But the Monarch is expected to be
politically neutral and should not make political decisions. The present
sovereign of Great Britain is Queen Elizabeth II (the second). She was crowned
in Westminster Abbey in 1953.
The House of Commons has 650 elected Members of Parliament (MPs), each
representing a local constituency
They are elected by secret ballot. General elections are held every five years.
The country is divided into 650 constituencies. All citizens aged 18 have the
right to vote , but voting is not compulsory in Britain. The candidate polling
the largest number of votes in a constituency is elected. The functions of the
House of Commons are legislation and scrutiny of government activities. The
House of Commons is presided over by the Speaker. The Government appoints the
Speaker.
The House of Lords comprises about 1,200 peers. It is presided over by the Lord
Chancellor. The House of Lords is made up of hereditary and life peers and
peeresses and the two archbishops and 24 most senior bishops of the established
Church of England. The House of Lords has no real power. It acts rather as an
advisory council .
There are few political parties in Great Britain thanks to the British
electoral system. They are the Conservative Party, the Labour Party and the
Liberal Democratic Alliance. Each political party puts up one candidate for
each constituency. The one who wins the most votes is elected MP for that area.
The party which wins the most seats in Parliament forms the Government. Its
leader becomes the Prime Minister. As head of the Government the Prime Minister
appoints ministers, of whom about 20 are in the Cabinet — the senior group
which takes major policy decisions. Ministers are collectively responsible for
government decisions and individually responsible for their own departments.
The second largest party forms the official Opposition, with its own leader and
'shadow cabinet'. The Opposition has a duty to criticise government policies
and to present an alternative programme.
The new bills are introduced and debated in the House of Commons. If the
majority of the members are in favour of a bill it goes to the House of Lords
to be debated. The House of Lords has the right to reject a new bill twice. But
after two rejections they are obliged to accept it. And finally the bill goes
to the Monarch to be signed. Only then it becomes a law.
Parliament is responsible for British national policy. Much legislation applies
through out Britain. England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their
own legal systems with differences in law and practice.
