ORGANIZATION POLICY
The Political System of the United Kingdom is composed of a complex set of parliamentary government, monarchy and democracy coexist in a multiparty system. The Prime Minister is head of government. Executive power is exercised by the government, the legislative both the government and the two chambers of Parliament, the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

The chief of the theoretical source of executive, legislative and judiciary branches of the United Kingdom is the British monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. However, sovereignty no longer resides in the monarch from 1689, the year of approval of the Bill of Rights, which established the principle of parliamentary sovereignty. Nevertheless, the monarch remains head of state, similar in function to a president of a parliamentary republic.
Originally, the monarch had any citizen the right to choose British Prime Minister as his and he could summon and dissolve Parliament when it deemed appropriate. However, according to the current "unwritten constitution", the Prime Minister is the leader of the majority party in the House of Commons and the Parliament can be dissolved as soon as it sees fit. The monarch has the power to refuse the royal assent to bills passed by Parliament, this power is not exercised by 1708 and, if implemented today, would cause a serious constitutional crisis. Queen Anne was the last monarch to exercise this power on 11 March 1708, a decree on sending the army in Scotland. The other powers gifts, called royal prerogative shall be exercised by Prime Minister and Cabinet, with the explicit consent of the monarch. Today, the Sovereign
mainly a ceremonial role in the use of limited power to conventions and public opinion. The monarch, however, continues to exercise three essential rights: the right to be consulted, the right to counsel and the right to warn. The Prime Minister held confidential weekly meetings with the monarch.
In formal terms, the Crown in Parliament as the sovereign means in practical terms the political head of the UK is the Prime Minister. However, the real powers of the position of the British monarch in the constitution should not be underestimated. The monarch has some powers to be used but with discretion. He is the necessary role of head of state and, in the absence of a distinct separation of powers and a strong lower house, acts as a final check of executive power. If, hypothetically, the approval of a bill threatening freedom and security of British citizens, the monarch could refuse the royal assent, free from the current political parties. In addition, it would be difficult for Parliament or for the Government to remove the monarch, since he is commander in chief of the armed forces swear allegiance to him.
