Images of England
UNDERSTANDING ENGLAND:
England is part of the United Kingdom, which is a constitutional monarchy, with a Queen (or King) as the head of state, and a Prime Minister as the democratically elected head of government. The Prime Minister is not elected as an individual. Instead the leader of the largest party in Parliament is invited to form a government, of which the leader typically becomes the Prime Minister.
Avoid confusing the terms England, UK, Britain and British Isles. Great Britain is the collective name for England, Scotland and Wales.
The British Isles is the collective term for the islands that include Great Britain, Ireland and many other small adjacent islands.
The UK refers to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (but not, of course, the Republic of Ireland).
The government in London contains elected representatives from throughout the UK. Following recent devolution, Scotland and Wales have their own elected parliaments with some law-making and tax-setting powers. England has no national government though and is directly governed by the UK government.
