The British form of government is a Parliamentary Democracy and Constitutional Monarchy.

The UK has a unelected head of state in the form of the Queen who must be consulted on the passing of laws but who has no real powers to change anything. The Queen's role is to basically rubber-stamp whatever the sitting government wishes to be passed.

The UK government system is a 2 house system. The House of Commons is an elected house with the power to write legislation. The House of Lords is used to have a second reading of legislation and can ask for changes to be made but ultimately can only hold up legislation. The House of Lords is an unelected body and positions on it are either inherited, come with a role or are appointed.
