Answer my questions.
1. Who is the head of the UK?
2. Who is the head of the government?
3. What houses does the parliament consist of?
4. Who chooses the members of the House of Commons?
5. Who chooses the members of the House of Lords?

The Queen is the official head of the state.
She reigns, but doesn’t rule. She represents the country,
signs bills, participates in different charity funds.

Her Majesty is “an old tradition”. But the most British really love her and are vividly interested in everything concerning her family.

Thousands of people come to London to watch her coming out, changing the royal guard, visit her apartments in Buckingham palace.

I can jump I can run
I can sing I can dance
I can swim I can’t fly
I can climb and say good bye.

The executive branch.
The government.
The Prime Minister, the leader of the party that has won at the elections. He/she chooses the cabinet of ministers, coordinates government departments. Any Prime Minister lives on Downing St.,10. And is officially appointed by the Queen.

The legislative branch - Parliament.

Two Houses.
The House of Commons.
The members are elected by people over 18.
They make laws.
