1.Is the Queen of the United Kingdom also the Queen of some other countries?

• Once the British Empire included a large number of countries all over the world ruled by Britain. The process of decolonization began in 1947 with the independence of India, Pakistan and Ceylon. Now, apart from Hong Kong and a few small islands, there is no longer an empire. But the British ruling classes tried not to lose influence over the former colonies of the British Empire and Britain was founded in 1949. It is called the Commonwealth. It includes many countries such as Ireland, Burma, the Sudan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and others. The Queen of Great Britain became also the head of the Commonwealth and so the Queen of Canada, Australia, New Zealand…23января 2020 годасоглашениео выходе былоратифицированопарламентомСоединенногоКоролевства,а 29 января 2020 года-Европейскимпарламентом. Великобритания покинула ЕС 31 января 2020 года в 23:00 по Гринвичу, положив конец 47-летнему членству.

2.Who does the real power in the UK belong to? The UK is a constitutional monarchy. This means that it has a monarch (a king or a queen) as its Head of State. The monarch reigns with the support of Parliament.

3. Which are the powers of the monarch in the UK? The powers of the monarch are not defined. Everything today is done in the monarch’s name. It is his government, his armed forces, his law courts and so on. His majesty appoints all the Ministers, including the Prime Minister. (Now Rishi Sunak, the Conservative Party). Everything is fulfilled however on the advice of the elected Government, and the monarch takes no part in the decision-making process.

4.What do the letters MP stand for? (member of parliament).

5.Which is the minimum voting age in the UK? (The minimum voting age is 18, and the voting is taken by secret ballot – тайноеголосование.)

6.Who chooses candidates in elections in the UK? (The election campaign lasts about three weeks. The election is decided on a simple majority – the candidate with the most votes wins. The political parties choose candidates in elections.)

7.Who chooses the Cabinet of Ministers? (The party, which wins the majority of seats, forms the Government and its leader usually becomes Prime Minister.)

8.Who is called ‘front benches’ and ‘back benches’? (The House of Commons is made up of 650 elected members, known as Members of Parliament (MPs). The House of Commons is presided over by the Speaker, a member acceptable to the whole House. MPs sit on two seats of the hall, one side for the governing party and the other for the opposition. The first two rows of seats are occupied by the leading members of both parties (called ‘front benchers – “переднескамеечники”,руководящиечленыобеихпарламентскихпартий, the back benches belong to the rank-and-file MPs У(‘backbenchers’ – рядовыечленыполитическихпартий,представленныхвпарламенте)

9. How long does a session of the House of Commons last? Each session of the House of Commons lasts for 160-175 days. MPs are paid for their parliamentary work and have to attend the sittings.

10. What is ‘a reading’ in the Parliament? A proposed law, a bill has to go through three stages in order to become an act of parliament. These are called readings. The first reading is a formality and is simply the publication of the proposal. The second reading involves debate on the principles of the bill, its examination by a parliamentary committee, and the third reading – a report stage, when the work of the committee is reported on to the House. This is usually the most important stage in the process. The third reading is often a formality too; if six members ‘table a motion’, ставятпредложениенаобсуждение), then there has to be a debate on the third reading. If the majority of MPs still votes for the bill, it is sent to the House of Lords for discussion. When the Lords agree, the bill is taken to the monarch for Royal assent – королевскаясанкция. All bills must pass through both houses before being sent for signature by the king, when they become Acts of Parliament and the Law of the Land.

11.What is ‘the Woolsack’? The chairman of the House of Lords is the Lord Chancellor (лорд-канцлер) and he sits on a special seat called the Woolsack. (Данная традиция восходит к Средневековью: в тут пору Англия считалась одним из ведущих экспортеров шерсти. Именно поэтому мешок с шерстью выступал в качестве национального символа.*Набитаяшерстьюкраснаяподушка – обычай,которыйсохранилсяс XIV века,когдашерстьбылаважнейшейстатьёйанглийскогоэкспорта)см.стр.11 The tradition goes back to the 14 century when wool was one of the national symbols of England and was exported as one of the goods to other countries.

12. Which political parties in the UK can you name? The main British political groupings are the Conservative and Labour (founded in 1867 and 1900 accordingly). The Conservative Party is the ruling one, the second party is in the opposition now). There are some other parties, such as Social Democratic Party (1981), the Liberal Party(1988), the Scottish National (founded in1928), the Welsh Nationalist Party, the Communist Party of Britain (1988), the Communist Party of Great Britain (1920).But because of the electoral method in use, only two major parties obtain seats in the House of Commons. But there is an exception to this (the Scottish National and the Welsh National Parties can get the seats in the Parliament as they are concentrated in specific geographical areas, they can manage to win seats although their total support is relatively small.

13.Who are called ‘the Tories’ and who are called ‘the Whigs’? The Conservative Party, often called the Tory Party, is one of which can trace its roots back to this period (торивпереводесирландскогоэто ‘грабитель’,такименовалиихвовремяправленияКарлаСтюарта II). Today the Tory Party is that of big business, industry, commerce and landowners. Most of the money needed to run the party comes from large firms and companies. The party represents those who believe in private enterprise (частноепредпринимательство) as opposed to state–owned undertakings (госпредприятия). There is some division within the party itself: the more aristocratic wing and the lower middle-class group. The Tories are a mixture of the rich and privileged – the monopolists and landowners. The Conservative Party is the most powerful and is often called a party of business directors. The word ‘tory’ means an Irish highwayman and was applied to the conservatives by their opponents but later they adopted the name to describe themselves. The Tories op posed the ideas of the French Revolution, Parliamentary Reform and the development of Trade Unionism. Between the two was it was the Tories in Britain who permitted and encouraged the Nazi \na:tsi\ нацисты rise to power. They represent colonial policy. In home policy they opposed the tendencies of the Labour Party to nationalize gas, electricity, coal and the railways.

14. Which are the two groups of British newspapers? British newspapers can be divided into two groups: quality and popular. Quality newspapers are more serious and cover home and foreign news while popular newspapers like shocking, personal stories. The quality newspapers are twice the size of the popular newspapers. The quality daily papers are the ‘Times’, the ‘Guardian’, the ‘Daily Telegraph’ and the ‘Financial Times’. The ‘popular’ press consists of the ‘Daily Mail’, ‘the Daily Express’, the ‘Daily Star’ and the ‘Daily Mirror’. There are many local newspapers. Many of them are evening papers and many appear weekly.

15. What do the letters BBC stand for? Broadcasting in the UK is controlled by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA). The BBC receives its income from the government, but the private companies controlled by the IBA earn money from advertising. National radio is controlled by the BBC, and listeners can choose between four stations. The BBC has two TV channels. BBC 2 has more serious programmes and news features.
