UNIT 2. POLITICAL SYSTEM OF A STATE TEXT A. Political system of Great Britain In classical political theory, there are three arms of the state power: The executive - the Ministers who run the country and propose new laws The legislature - the elected body that passes new laws The judiciary - the judges and the courts who ensure that everyone obeys the laws The British political system is headed by a monarchy but essentially the powers of the monarch as head of state - currently Queen Elizabeth II - are ceremonial. The British Parliament is often called Westminster because it is housed in a distinguished building in central London called the Palace of Westminster. The British Parliament is bicameral, that is there are two houses or chambers – the House of Commons and the House of Lords The Commons is chaired by the Speaker. The House of Commons currently comprises 650 Members of Parliament or MPs (the number varies slightly from time to time to reflect population change). This is a large legislature by international standards. Each member in the House of Commons represents a geographical constituency. Every citizen aged 18 or over can vote once in the constituency in which they live. Voting is not compulsory. The House of Lords is the upper chamber but the one with less authority. Its main roles are to revise legislation and keep a check on Government by scrutinizing its activities. There is no fixed number of members in the House of Lords, but currently there are 774 members. Historically most members of the House of Lords have been what we called hereditary peers. All legislation has to be approved by both Houses of Parliament. In each House of Parliament, a proposed piece of legislation - called a Bill - goes through the following stages: First Reading - the Bill is introduced with simply a reading by a Minister of the long title of the Bill Second Reading - the general principles of the Bill are debated by all the members of the House and a formal vote is taken Committee Stage - each clause and schedule of the Bill, plus amendments to them and any new clauses or schedules, is examined in detail, in the Commons by a small, specially chosen group of members meeting as Public Bill Committee or in the Lords by the members as a whole on the floor of the House Report Stage - the changes made to the Bill in the Committee are reported to and debated by the whole House Third Reading - the final version of the Bill is considered by the whole House in a short debate (in the Commons without the facility for further amendments) Royal Assent - the Crown gives assent to the Bill which then becomes an Act Several points are worth noting about the legislative process. A Bill becomes a law after its publication by mass media. The executive power. Historically most British governments have been composed of ministers from a single political party which had an overall majority of seats in the House of Commons and the 'first-past-the-post' (FPTP) electoral system greatly facilitates and indeed promotes this outcome. The most important person in the British political system is the Prime Minister. The official residence of the Prime Minister is at 10 Downing Street in central London. The most important political departments are called: the Treasury , the Home Office , the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The British judicial branch is extremely complex. Unlike most countries which operate a single system of law, the UK operates three separate legal systems: one for England and Wales, one for Scotland, and one for Northern Ireland. Although bound by similar principles, these systems differ in form and the manner of operation. The Lord Chancellor's office - which for 1,400 years maintained the judiciary - has now been replaced by the Ministry for Justice which administers the court system. The Appellate Committee of the House of Lords - previously the highest court in the land - was, by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005, replaced by the Supreme Court in October 2009 to allow the judiciary to operate in total independence from the Government. The Supreme Court is now the ultimate court of appeal in all legal matters other than criminal cases in Scotland. It consists of 12 judges and sits in the Middlesex Guildhall in Parliament Square. |
