The British government is a parliamentary democracy located in the United Kingdom. It consists of three main branches: the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary. The Prime Minister leads the executive branch and is supported by the Cabinet. The legislative branch, known as Parliament, is divided into two houses: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The House of Commons is made up of Members of Parliament (MPs) who are elected by the public, while the House of Lords includes appointed members and bishops. The judiciary is independent and interprets laws made by Parliament. This system ensures a balance of power and representation in the government.
