Evaluating United States’ and United Kingdom’s Political Systems
Introduction
There is the absence of an official guideline on Britain’s political system. Strangely in the contemporary world, Britain does not have a written constitution. The British political system is unusual in various aspects, an argument noted by comparison to other peer nations. The country’s political system has long seemed a framework of stability within the evolving world. Britain has not encountered any sharp government changes that have been noted, for instance, The French politics and government for over two centuries. Instead, the British government system has gradually transformed over the centuries, with reforms being grafted into the conventional institutions. The new has been painlessly incorporated into the familiar and old. This government system was traditionally widely revered across the country and thus played a central role in communicating Britain’s integrity and identity. More recently, the British political system has faced criticism for being less admirable by the push for constitutional reforms. This report examines characteristics of the UK’s political system, compares Britain and United States political systems, and recommends that the US embraces the parliamentary system over the presidential structure.
Features of British Political System
Some key features of Britain’s political structure are unwritten since they are not incorporated into any formal document but rather centered on traditions and agreed applications nationally accepted and virtually undisputed.
