Britain’s political system explained
Britain is adjusting to a new political landscape after a shock election victory for Prime Minister David Cameron that decapitated the opposition and bolstered secessionists in Scotland. Cameron's Conservatives won 331 of the 650 seats in parliament, giving the prime minister a second term in office -- this time with a majority for his centre-right party. VIDEOGRAPHIC

MP: Sunak Is 'Literally the Worst Person' to Be Leading UK
Rishi Sunak "is literally the worst person to be leading this country through a cost-of-living crisis," says Labour's Chris Bryant, urging the prime minister to "stop lecturing" people. The prime minister says he's doing "the right thing" to support families
Sunak risks failing against the very promises he told voters to judge him by.
At the beginning of January, the premier set five pledges he said would be the test of his performance. They were to halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce the national debt, shrink National Health Service waiting lists and stop migrants crossing the English Channel.
“I fully expect you to hold my government and I to account on delivering those goals,” Sunak said.

Britain’s political system

The UK is also a constitutional monarchy, although Queen Elizabeth II has limited powers and is politically impartial. The countdown to a British General election starts with the prime minister paying a ceremonial visit to the Queen, to formalise the dissolution of parliament.VIDEOGRAPHIC

Rishi Sunak "is literally the worst person to be leading this country through a cost-of-living crisis," says Labour's Chris Bryant, urging the prime minister to "stop lecturing" people. The prime minister says he's doing "the right thing" to support families
Sunak risks failing against the very promises he told voters to judge him by.
At the beginning of January, the premier set five pledges he said would be the test of his performance. They were to halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce the national debt, shrink National Health Service waiting lists and stop migrants crossing the English Channel.
“I fully expect you to hold my government and I to account on delivering those goals,” Sunak said.
But six months on, inflation is proving sticky, recession is becoming more likely, and debt has risen, leading Bank of America Corp. strategists to characterize the UK as the “stagflationary sick man of Europe.” Meanwhile, hospital waiting lists are at a record and boats full of migrants continue to land on England’s shores.
