The Queen
• Do “Royal assent” to “request” of dissolution or a bill passed
• Read an written speech• and so on
The majority of MPs support
“advise” the Queen
The role First, the monarchy is the personal embodiment of the government of the country
Second, the monarchy could act as a final check on a government
Third, the monarchy has a very practical role to play
The value
The British monarchy is probably more important to the economy of the country than it is to the system of government
The monarchy gives British people a symbol of continuity, and a harmless outlet of the expression of national pride
Making up for the lack of colour and ceremony in most people’s daily lives: the Queen’s official birthday, royal weddings, and ceremonial events…
The value
The glamorous lives of “the royals” provide a source of entertainment that often takes on the characteristics of a television soap opera
The value
For the last 250 years, the British monarchy as an institution has only rarely been a burning political issue.
Few people in Britain could be described as either ‘monarchists’ or ‘anti-monarchists’
During the last two decades of the twentieth century, there has been lowered the prestige of royalty.
The change in attitude can be seen by comparing Queen Elizabeth’s 25 th anniversary as Queen with her 40th anniversary
THE FUTURE
The change in attitude can be seen by comparing Queen Elizabeth’s 25 th anniversary as Queen with her 40th anniversary. In 1977, there were neighbourhood street parties throughout the country, most of them spontaneously and voluntarily organized.
THE FUTURE
11-20 in 1992 - fire erupted at Windsor Castle, Queen Elizabeth's official residence west of London, causing much damage. The fire burned for 15 hours damaging or destroying nine principal rooms and over a hundred other rooms.The fire damaged one of the Queen’s favourite homes to the value of £60 million.
THE FUTURE
• Civil List payments to some members of the royal family were stopped

THE FUTURE OF MONARCHY
THE FUTURE
What would happen if Prince Charles died before The Queen?
If Prince Charles died before The Queen then Prince William would become heir to the throne. This would mean he would become the next King after The Queen died. Whilst heir, he might be made Prince of Wales but would not qualify to become Duke of Cornwall because the Dukedom and Duchy of Cornwall are only automatically assumed by the heir to the throne who is also the eldest son of the Monarch.It is not true that Prince Andrew would become the next King because he is currently 5th in line to the throne. Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince George and Prince Harry would have to be King or die first.
Undertake various official, ceremonial, diplomatic and representational duties, but no official
power.

The civil service
The civil service is the unique structure of the British Government• The day-to-day running of the government and the
implementation of its policy continue in the hands of the same people that were there with the previous government – the top rank of the civil service. Governments come and go, but the civil service remains.
The civil service
It is sometimes the top civil servants and not the ministers govern the country• By comparison, ministers, even those who have been
in the same department for several years, are still new to the job. Moreover, civil servants know the secrets of the previous government which the present minister is unaware of.
• For all these reasons, it is often possible for top civil servants to exercise quite a lot of control over their ministers, and it is sometimes said that it is they, and not their ministers, who really govern the country
The civil service
What particular sections of society do civil servants come from?• the top rank of the civil service is still largely made up of people from the
same narrow section of society – people who have been to public school and then on to Oxford or Cambridge, where they studied subjects such as history or classical languages
Modern criticism of the civil service does not question its loyalty but its efficiency • Many ministers have remarked on the struggle for power between them and
their top civil servants, but very few have ever complained of any political bias. Top civil servants know that their power depends on their staying out of ‘politics’ and on their being absolutely loyal to their present minister
Central and local government
The system of local government is very similar to the system of national government. • There are elected representatives, called coun cillors (the equivalent of
MPs). They meet in a council chamber in the Town Hall or County Hall (the equivalent of Parliament), where they make policy which is implemented by local government officers (the equivalent of civil servants)
• They employ three times as many people as the national government does
Central and local government
• Local councils are allowed to collect one kind of tax. This is a tax based on property.
• The modern trend has been towards greater and greater control by central government. This is not just a matter of controlling the way local government raises money. There are now more laws governing the way councils can conduct their affairs
