Королева и парламент
Достаточно трудно понять Британский способ управления страной. В Британии королева глава государства, но на самом деле королева символ истории страны и её традиций. Она очень богата. Она ездит по королевству, встречается с людьми и посещает школы, больницы и другие места. Так поступают все члены королевской семьи: муж королевы, её сын принц Чарльз, дочь королевы принцесса Анна и принцесса Маргарет.
В начале столетия много стран по всему миру управлялись Британией. Все они входили в Британскую Империю и были её колониями. Индия, Пакистан, Цейлон, например, были среди них. Сейчас эти страны независимые государства. Но в 1949 году Британия и бывшие колонии образовали Содружество наций. Содружество включает много стран, таких как Ирландия, Канада, Австралия, Новая Зеландия и другие. Королева Британии является также и главой Содружества, и королевой Канады, Австралии и Новой Зеландии.
Реальная власть в стране принадлежит Британскому парламенту и Британскому правительству. Британский парламент состоит из двух палат: палаты лордов и палаты общин. У палаты лордов немного власти, но она очень важна, так как может предлагать и менять законы, она также может задерживать законы. Палата общин создаёт законы о политике страны, налогах и многих других вещах.
Члены палаты лордов не выбираются. Это постоянные члены. Часто это аристократы, священники, юристы и бывшие политики.
Членов палаты общин выбирают. Британцы выбирают 650 членов палаты общин каждые пять лет.
