The British Monarchy is known as a constitutional monarchy. This means that, while the Sovereign is Head of State, the ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament. 
The Monarch undertakes constitutional and representational duties which have developed over one thousand years. The Monarchy is one of the oldest form of government in the United Kingdom.]]> 2017-10-30 13:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sinead_053/r0rt6y0efkue/wish/201703952 https://padlet.com/sinead_053/r0rt6y0efkue/wish/201710639 Is our Prime Minister and conservative MP, she became Prime Minister in 2016 and MP in 1997.

Things like new laws and policies of other parties are discussed in the commons chamber. The house of commons is a lower house that the house of lords. MP's are admitted to the house of commons depending on the amount of votes they receive in an election, this process is called 'first past the post'. The leader of the house of commons is the prime minister but they only remain in office while they have the support of the majority of the commons. The commons in office here have the power called the 'delaying power' which states they can delay the passing of new laws rather than the power to cancel them, which they did have until 1911. The prime minister is always a member of the house of commons rather than the house of lords where they are not. However, when they position of prime minister is vacant, the sovereign of the house of commons appoints the new prime minister, often the person who is a member of the largest party (who has the most support). This house has to consult the monarch before it can pass any laws, the leaders of the house of commons can vote to dissolve parliament, calling for a general election but they also must have the approval of the monarchy.
