unit 10 lesson 7 am gov

1- It is the monarch who officially appoints the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, but tradition requires him to elect the person with the majority support of the House of Commons, who is usually the leader of the party with a majority of seats in that chamber. If the prime minister loses that support (for the approval of a motion of censorship, for example), the convention forces him to resign, or to dissolve the Parliament. However, if he has opted for dissolution and in the elections that follow does not achieve a parliamentary majority, he has no other option but to resign.

The King appoints the Prime Minister, and at the proposal of the latter, the monarch appoints the members of the Cabinet and the other ministers of the Government.

2- A coalition government is formed when a parliamentary group does not have a sufficient majority to form a government, so it is forced to agree with another group, usually of related political ideology, to form a joint government.

3- Both countries share within their systems of government the use of common law (is the body of law that is used in both countries, which is based more on jurisprudence than on laws), the existence of a bicameral legislative power, and the existence of a Supreme Court.
