british government

The British government refers to the central governing authority of the United Kingdom, responsible for making and implementing national policy, laws, and administration. It is composed of three main branches: the executive (headed by the Prime Minister and Cabinet), the legislature (Parliament, which includes the House of Commons and the House of Lords), and the judiciary (independent courts). The government operates under a constitutional monarchy, with the monarch serving as the head of state and the Prime Minister as the head of government.
