	United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British Isles is a term frequently used to refer to the archipelago that includes Great Britain and Ireland, and their associated islands, such as the Channel Islands, the Hebrides, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, Orkney, the Shetland Islands.
		Some British economists demand that the European Central Bank be reformed to mirror the Bank of England before the UK joins the Euro, a demand which, given the German economic difficulties following adoption of the Euro, would seem to be possible in the future.
		The Blair government has put off the question of participation in the Euro system, citing five economic tests that would need to be met before they recommend that the UK adopts the Euro, and hold a referendum.

	Politics of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As in other Parliamentary systems of government, the executive (called "the government") is drawn from and is answerable to Parliament - a successful vote of no confidence will force the government either to resign or to seek a parliamentary dissolution and a general election.
		Governments with a small majority, or coalition governments, are much more vulnerable, and sometimes have to resort to extreme measures, such as "wheeling in" sick MPs, to get the necessary majority.
		The Liberal Party formed a government in 1870 and then alternated with the Conservative Party as the party of government throughout the late 19th century and early 20th century.

	Communication from the German Government to the British Government - September 3, 1939
		The German Government have received the British Government's ultimatum of the 3rd September, 1939.

		The German Government, therefore, reject the attempts to force Germany, by means of a demand having the character of an ultimatum, to recall its forces which are lined up for the defence of the Reich, and thereby to accept the old unrest and the old injustice.

	Spaceflight Now \| Breaking News \| British government responds to NEO task force report
		The British government issued a response Saturday to a task force report on the threat posed by near-Earth asteroids and comets, concurring with many of the recommendations in the report but promising little in the way of immediate, concrete action.
		The three-person task force, created by the British government last year to study the NEO threat, issued 14 recommendations dealing not only with searching and tracking NEOs but also "mitigation" issues, such as ways to deflect an object on an impact trajectory or dealing with the aftermath of a NEO impact.
		The mitigation recommendations were largely glossed over in the government response, saying it was premature to deal with them until the NEO population and any threat they pose is better understood.

	Modern History Sourcebook: British Government Statement: Policy In Burma, May 1945
		It Is and has consistently been our aim to assist her political development till she can sustain the responsibilities of complete self-government within the British Commonwealth and consequently attain a status equal to that of the Dominions and of this country.
		It is accordingly necessary, so long as the government of the country cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the 1935 Act, that recourse should continue to be had to the provisions of Section 139, under which the administration is carried on by the Governor in direct responsibility to His Majesty's Government.
		Government in accordance with the provisions of the Act of 1935 having thus been restored, as soon as the conditions in the country permit, a second phase in constitutional development will begin, during which the ground will be prepared for the attainment of full self-government.
