The UK is a monarchy and has a parliamentary government. This means that there is no clear-cut separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches. The ministers of the executive branch are drawn from the legislative body (Parliament) and are accountable to that body. In such a system, the head of government is both chief executive and chief legislator.
Parliament, the law-making body (legislature) of the British people, consists of three elements: the Monarch, or Sovereign (King or Queen), and the Houses of Parliament constituted by an elected House of Commons and an appointed House of Lords. They meet in the Palace of Westminster together only on occasions of ceremonial significance, such as the state opening of Parliament, although the agreement of all three is necessary for legislation.

General Elections to the House of Commons are held after Parliament has been dissolved, either by the Queen or because the maximum term between elections – five years – has expired. The decision on when to hold a general election is made by the Prime Minister. Britain is divided into constituencies, each of which returns one MP to the House of Commons. The British electoral system is based on the relative majority method – sometimes called the “first past the post” principle – which means the candidate with more votes than any other is elected.
All British citizens together with citizens of other Commonwealth countries and citizens of the Irish Republic living in Britain may vote, provided they are 18 years or over and not legally barred from voting. People not entitled to vote include prisoners, members of the House of Lords, and those kept in hospital for mental disorders.
