What are the duties of the Queen/King of England?
- Well in theory, the executive authority of the government is vested in the Sovereign. In practice, executives decisions are made by the Prime Minister and Cabinet on behalf of the monarch. The British monarch has extensive theoretical powers, but in practice is a ceremonial figurehead who acts on the advice of her ministers. Lapafrax 15:40, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I am just wondering if the article is correct when it says ", the term "His Wanka Government" was originally only used by the Imperial Government in London." is this correct or is it vandalism. (not trying to insult anyone or anything. 20:20, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] History
I came to the article page to find out which party was in power in 1791 (the year in which a bill for the abolition of slavery was first discussed and rejected). Instead I find a somewhat cavalier description of a predominantly parliamentary institution, with no history section, and vandalism of an even more cavalier nature on the Talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.1.98.66 (talk) 06:41, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Actual description of UK government missing
As mentioned by Instantnood at Talk:Government of the United Kingdom, Government of the United Kingdom is not a page actually describing the UK government. Instead, it redirects here. This page, in turn, only describes the term "Her Majesty's Government".
I think Government of the United Kingdom or Her Majesty's Government should be changed into a page actually describing the government of the UK. Another possibility is redirecting Government of the United Kingdom to Politics of the United Kingdom, but this is inferior, as politics and government are related but not the same thing.
