KNOW ABOUT THE UK CABINET, THE SPEAKER, THE WHIPS, THE OPPOSITION AND THE PRIME MINISTER
By Mathew Collins & Nicky Barclay, 2006; From the web
The United Kingdom's Prime Minister
The prime minister is the leader of the parliamentary group with the most MPs in a general election (or seats). In return, they will be able to propose a variety of MPs to form a government. They normally reside at 10 Downing Street in London and own Chequers, a country estate in Buckinghamshire. They may be overthrown by their own group, or they may quit. They often retire after losing a general election.
The cabinet
A cabinet is made up of ministers appointed by the prime minister to manage different government departments. The following are the most important units and their responsibilities:
The Chancellor of the Exchequer is in charge of both financial and economic matters.
The Other Secretary is in charge of global affairs and bilateral relations with foreign countries.
The Home Secretary is in charge of both domestic relations in England and Wales, as well as immigration and citizenship.
The cabinet includes security, welfare, industry, justice, colleges, and the leader of the House of Commons.
The opponent
The majority leader is the leader of the political party with the most seats in parliament. He or she constructs a'shadow cabinet,' which duplicates the locations of the actual cabinet. While the opposition is never able to outvote the government of the day on new legislation, its importance cannot be emphasised. It will both oppose the administration and propose laws; the importance of the opposition cannot be emphasised. It has the power to both censure the administration and propose laws. Once a week, the Prime Minister's Question Time enables all MPs to question the government of the day.
The speaker
The speaker is elected by all members of Parliament and is politically unbiased. He or she keeps the House of Commons in order and ensures that House of Commons laws are observed. The speaker, technically known as the Chief Officer of the House of Commons, is the king's representative in the House of Commons.
The Whip
Whips are MPs selected by their political parties to ensure that members of the House of Commons vote. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury is appointed by the Chief Whip. This allows him or her to lean against the cabinet. Whips regularly work with the speaker to organise the order of business in the House of Commons.
