UK Political System

The video shows a simplistic guide to the UK Political System. It is nearly always changing and there is so much to learn but hopeful this video will make it easier. This video is something I quickly made. Enjoy...

So do the Royal family rule, form behind the scenes, or not ?

Does gordon brown "answer to" the queen, or does he just have to go and tell her roughly what he's doing,

Because non of this political rubbish matters, surely, if there's one source of power behind it all, anyway.

Only, i would rather have a monarchy, than this rubbish lie we live in now. At least you would know where you stand. But no one seems ot be able to just say "who is in control here".

Yes, the Royal Family are at the top of the hierarchy although they take a backseat (making no new laws, no legislation, nothing really). Brown does report to the Queen. I cannot think what it's called but it's like a 'New Year' at some point in the year. Have a look at 'Politics of the United Kingdom' on Wikipedia for more.

You would know where you stand if it was just a monarchy but you don't realise the benefits of a democracy until it's taken away...

I went over the limit on the last post...

The Local and EU elections that are coming up will have an affect on the the system I mentioned above. There will be parties that we've never heard of gaining popularity like The Green Party and maybe even the BNP...

@samuelshoesmith What? Yes, clearly. I don't see what you're aiming at

[samuelshoesmith]

@scamwa Haha. I am talking to you.

[scamwa]

@samuelshoesmith nice one

[samuelshoesmith]

@scamwa Do you know your left from your right?

[scamwa]

according to this video, Labour are to socialism, what the conservatives are to fascism, except the Labour Party is a member of the Socialist International. You should have communist/socialist on the left and capitalist/nationalist on the right you wanker

[scamwa]

@TheOptimizersLtd not true

[TheOptimizersLtd]

Labour is left centre, Conservatives are right centre, Liberal Democrats are further to the left than Labour. UKIP is quite to the right, BNP is far right to the extent that much of their support is based on racism. The Green Party is very far left. All UK parties except for the BNP though, are extreme left compared to the US. US Democrats make Conservatives look far left in comparison, and US Republicans make UKIP look far left!

[yesman2079]

So you believe UKIP are more right wing that BNP? Soryy can't agree with that. Liked everything else though.

[JoeJamesGoldsmith]

next time explain the diffrent wings

[wakeupitshere]

I can't believe anybody actually thinks that each party is any different. They are run by the same people at the top. This is all just one big illusion! The left right paradigm is a joke and was created to divide people. Wake up! Why chose either economic freedom or personal freedom when you can have both!
