Best Answer

Prime Ministers for their head of Government. The Queen is born Queen and remains the head of state. Members of the House of Lords are also elected, similar the Senate in America or The Upper House in Canada.

The answer provided above isn't entirely correct, particularly in terms of those for whom the British vote.

The British vote for a person to represent them and their electorate. Political parties with the largest number of representatives form a majority government. Often representatives are independent of any particular political party. It matters not. Sometimes a coalition government is formed between a major and minor party or with independent representatives.

The Prime Minister is elected by the majority of parliamentarians sitting in the lower House of Commons.

Members of the House of Lords are not simply elected as suggested in the original answer. Many of today's Lords are life peers, with the title passing to their off-spring, usually male but female since 1963. The House of Lords is currently ongoing reform to democratise representation without disrespect to Their Lordships.

Her Majesty, The Queen was not born Queen. Queen Elizabeth's father, King George VI became King on the abdication of his older brother, King Edward VIII in 1936; and Princess Elizabeth was already 10 years old. HM, who was born Princess but not Queen, only became Queen in 1952 - at present, almost 60 years ago.
