UK politics

UK politics revolve around a parliamentary system where elected Members of Parliament (MPs) represent various political parties. The main parties are the Conservative and Labour parties. The government is formed by the party or coalition with the most MPs, led by the Prime Minister, who directs policies and national issues. The UK Parliament, with the House of Commons and the House of Lords, debates and passes laws. Regional considerations include devolved governments in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, each with some powers. Overall, UK politics balances tradition, party competition, and regional interests within a constitutional monarchy.
