UK is that means the unity between kings or kingdoms country or only means United Kingdom? |
Travel Info There for if there any compititve between Dimocrasy and Kingdom secretly or open? Travel Tips It's United Kingdom. So called because we are made up of 4 country's; England, Scotland,Wales and N. Ireland. The full name of our country is; United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. We are not a true democracy not only because the head of state is the Queen. But we have the House of Lords which is unelected. Added in responce to below; We do not have a Constitution, there is so called "unwritten Constitution" ,but why don't they put it into law? being unwritten, they can tweak it to suit. The Government elect has to go to the Queen and ask permission to foam a Government. So the people decision is not final. More worrying is the Royal prerogative which the Prime Minister has. It gives him/she powers to bypass Parliament. Such as to go to war. I think when this Queen is dead. They will have to be big changers.Hopefully the country is'nt going to put up with mad Charley! Others "UK" means "United Kingdom". As the word "United" implies, there is now only one Queen. However around a thousand years ago, each individual area was ruled by its own monarch. Gradually these amalgamated until in 1603 King James IV of Scotland also became King of England and Wales, although proper Union took over 100 years after this. There is currently no competition between Democracy and Monarchy in the UK. The UK is a consitutional monarchy and the Queen is Head of State but, in reality, has very little power of her own. She operates on the "advice" of her government. She could, in theory, reject the government's "advice" but never has and, in all probability, never will. The reason is that if she went against the advice it would provoke a constitutional crisis, the overwhelmingly likely outcome of which would be that the UK would become an effective republic. This is clearly not in the monarchy's interest. The UK does not operate a "true" democracy in the ancient Greek sense of the word, but then no country does. It operates a Representative Democracy as do most other countries. Im sorry, I understood every word of the question, but couldnt understand what the hell you are blithering on about...... stop drinking for a day or two, you'll feel better for it. |
