	Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In the United Kingdom, the Prime Minister is the head of government, exercising many of the executive functions nominally vested in the Sovereign, who is head of state.
		Parliament has a maximum term of five years; in practice, however, it is usually "dissolved" sooner by the Sovereign, acting on a request from the Prime Minister.
		Whatever the reason—the expiry of Parliament's five year term, the choice of the Prime Minister, or a Government defeat in the House of Commons—the dissolution is followed by general elections.

	Politics of the United Kingdom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The politics of the United Kingdom are based upon a unitary state and a democratic constitutional monarchy.
		Parliament meets at the [[Palace of Westminster]] There is usually a majority in Parliament, thanks to the First Past the Post electoral system (which without the element of proportionality can magnify swings and so make it difficult not to win a majority of seats), so coalitions are rare.
		This contrasts with a federal system, in which sub-parliaments or state parliaments and assemblies have a clearly defined constitutional right to exist and a right to exercise certain constitutionally guaranteed and defined functions and cannot be unilaterally abolished by Acts of the central parliament.

		In contrast with most other countries the United Kingdom has no written constitution, nor is there any doctrine of the supremacy of the constitution over other legislation, nor any constitutional court, nor any doctrine of the separation of powers.
		Thus the elements of the United Kingdom constitution have to be sought out by consulting any or all of five different sources.
		Britain is a signatory of the 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol and continues to meet its obligations to refugees as a person who has a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religious, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.

	World Law: United Kingdom
		A Minister introducing a new legislative bill must provide Parliament with a statement whether the provisions of the Bill are compatible with Convention rights, and if not, expressly confirm that although he or she is unable to make a statement of such compatibility, he or she still wishes Parliament to proceed with the Bill.
		The United Kingdom has not, therefore, followed the model of some other countries which allow their courts to strike down principal legislation incompatible with entrenched or constitutional provisions.
		The Westminster Parliament is not a public authority for the purposes of the Act, because it is sovereign and its primary legislation must be upheld by the courts.
