Britain's flag is called the “Union Jack”. It is really three flags on top of each other-the red cross on
white of St. George for England, the white “X” on blue of St. Andrew for Scotland, and the red “X” on white of St. Patrick for Ireland. You will see the Union Jack on top of government offices in London.
British people have fun with their flag.
They put it on biscuit tins, party hats and plastic bags.

The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy. This means that it has a monarch ( a king or a queen) as its Head of State. The monarch reigns with the support of Parliament.
Everything today is done in the Queen’s name. It is her government, her armed forces, her law courts and so on. The Queen is very rich. The Government pays for her expenses as Head of the State, for a royal yacht, train, aircraft, and for the upkeep of several palaces. The Queen’s image appears on stamps, notes and coins.
The royal title of the Queen is : “Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith”The Queen in Britain has very little power. She reigns but doesn’t rule. But the Queen is a symbol of Britain's long history and national traditions.
The Prime Minister can decide on the exact date within five years between parliamentary elections. The party which wins the majority of seats at the elections forms the Government and its leader becomes Prime Minister.
The party which has majority of seats in the House of Commons is called the Government. The Prime Minister chooses about 20 MPs from hi or her party to become the Cabinet of Ministers. Each minister is responsible for a particular area of the government.
The British Parliament consists of the House of Lords and the House of Commons and the Queen as its head. A new bill is introduced and debated in the House of Commons. Then a bill goes to the House of Lords to be debated. Finally the monarch signs it. Only then it becomes law. Parliamentary elections must be held every five years. People can vote at the age of 18.
It is short form for Members of Parliament who the House of Commons consists of. MPs are elected at a general election or at a by-election.
It has more than 1,000 members. Only about 250 take an active part in the work of the House. This House consists of those lords who sit by right of inheritance. Members of this Upper House are not elected.The chairman of the House of Lords is the Lord Chancellor.
It is made up of 651 elected members, known as MPs. It is presided over by the Speaker, a member acceptable to the whole House.
