I throughly enjoyed learning about the how power is distributed within Britain's government system. Britain's government system is similar to that of the United States because both believe that in order to lead a country, it is central to have separation of powers. Each man and woman have the freedom but to some extent rely on the leaders to protect their well-being. What differs from the United States is that, Britain is a parliamentary system. It is governed by the prime minister and the division of power between the legislative and executive branch. I found it very interesting that Britain's government system is more stable than that of the United States government and for centuries the country has managed balance a some what equal amount of power within the government at its citizens and throughout history, has had very few invasions from Germany and France. Britain had to go through a number of trials and tribulations to get to where they are today. A number of movements occurred mostly during the twentieth century. Many rebelled against the governments inconsideration with their general welfare. Many sought to level class differences in Britain.
If found it very interesting that although the members of the Parliament has an equal government, the prime minister has the power to pick and control the cabinet. It is clear that the prime minister has a significantly higher role and has more of a upper hand during cabinet meetings. The PM's role is similar to that of our President. The only difference between the prime minister and the president is that in some manner, the legislative and executive branches have more control on how the house governs the country. Britain government is structured in a way that distributes an equal amount of power within each parties but at the same time. overall, I found common similarities between Britain and the US's government system which was very interesting.
