England political system

England Political System

The basic political system In England is a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary system. There has not been a Government of England since 1707, when the Acts of Union 1707, putting into effect the terms of the Treaty of Union, joined England and Scotland to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. Before all of this, the union England was ruled by its monarch and the Parliament of England. At this time England is governed directly by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, although other countries of the United Kingdom have devolved governments.

In the House of Commons which is the lower house of the British Parliament based at the Palace of Westminster, there are 532 Members of Parliament  for constituencies in England, out of the 650 total. the Conservative Party had won an absolute majority in England's 532 contested seats with 61 seats more than all other parties combined In the United Kingdom general election in 2010 (the Speaker of the House not being counted as a Conservative). However, taking Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales into account this was not enough to secure an overall majority, resulting in a hung parliament.

The British Parliament is often called Westminster because it is housed in a distinguished building in central London called the Palace of Westminster. The British Parliament - like most in the world - is bicameral, that is there are two houses or chambers. The only exceptions to this practice around the world are some small countries such as Finland, Israel and New Zealand.

Also in the British political system, almost all legislation is proposed by the Government and much of it comes from promises made in the manifesto of the relevant political party at the last election. At the beginning of each annual session of the Parliament, the main Bills to be considered are announced by the Queen in a speech opening that year's session of Parliament.
