Westminster

Westminster refers to the political system and institutions associated with the UK Parliament, located in the Palace of Westminster in London. It is known for its parliamentary democracy, where the government is formed by the party or coalition that has the majority in the House of Commons. The model emphasizes a clear separation of powers among the executive (the government), the legislature (Parliament), and the judiciary. The term also encompasses the practices and principles of governance, such as accountability and representation, that have influenced many other countries' political systems around the world.
