I would say both Britain and the U.S. are becoming police states. The evidence in the U.S. - the Patriot Act, habeus corpus scrapped, no lawyers for enemy combatants, banishment zones for registered sex offenders, more public cameras everywhere, talk of public registries for all former offenders, attorney general wanting ISPs to keep all people's Internet doings for three years.\n\nThe evidence in the UK - cameras everywhere. (Being an American, I am sure there is more than this, but this is what I have read about.)

The electoral system over here is subtly different to the US but not so bad that you'd lose sleep. The big difference is that we don't elect our PM, we elect a government (think - party) and the leader of the majority is normally "requested" by Her Majesty to form a government, but this is not written down in our constitution, as we don't have a written constitution. I've had HUGE rants at the current leader of the opposition, but I must admire him for this statement:\n"The constitution of the United Kingdom is whatever The Queen says it is".\nLegally, that is 100% correct.\nOur current government (ruling party, blair's thugs) were elected based on 21% (or so, don't flame me over a percentage point) of the valid electorate. A lot of people simply don't bother to vote because they're all crooks anyway, aren't they?\nBut listen to the talk in the trains and the bars etc. When they build the scaffold to hang Saddam, make space for Tony - and George - they're ALL war criminals.

England is a country in it's own right. Great Britain is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and as Great Britain is made up of these countries hence the name United Kingdom of Great Britain.

Saudi Arabia democratic system is different to UK's, we operate a bicameral system which means anything our PM puts through in terms of big legislation has to go through to the House of Lords, just remember back to Fox hunting.... you think they can make big decisions like reforming the work laws or anything so contraversial, it will probably be a long time before anything such as this happens unfortunately.

I suppose you could say that it one of the main policies that have been agreed upon by MPs.  Policies such as Free Care for the Elderly is a flagship policy for the Scottish Parliament.  \nThe main policies always seem to be about tackling unemployment, heath and education, especially near election time.

For more about England, and its Parliament, go to www.nraila.com.  Type England's laws in the search window.\nYou'd be amazed at how the average citizen faces arrest and confinement just for trying to protect their homes, families, and selves against criminals. \n\nPolice state?  That's a laugh. the police can't or won't do anything to curb crime, while the justice system treats the criminals better than the victims.

this sounds like a concept that is specific to UK law. there is a definition in the source below but you might need to use edit/find to find the specific reference

Well, that's a pretty open question lol\n\nThe United Kingdom comprises of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The population is around 58 million, and the capital is London.\n\nThe inhabitants are more likely to identify as coming from their constituent countries, and England is the dominant country in the union. Despite this, England is the only member not to have it's own democratic process, and all English law is made by the Houses of Parliament along with law for the whole union.\n\nIt is a constitutional monarchy, currently led by Queen Elizabeth II. However, the real power rests with the democratically elected parliament with the Queen acting as a figurehead. Theoretically, all new acts of parliament still have to be approved by the queen before passing into law however, and it is the Queen who requests the leader of the political party to form "her government".\n\nOther major cities include Cardiff (capital of Wales), Edinburgh (capital of Scotland) and Belfast (capital of Northern Ireland). Within England the major cities include Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield and Liverpool.\n\nI could go on forever... I hope there are enough facts there though lol

To answer the question at hand first, the reason you find it difficult is that you are “FOLLOWING” the laws in place.  If you want to properly live in the UK, better have a good education, large nest egg of money and a job offer that will employee you or a company that will sponsor you. Just like anyone else trying to get into another country, and I have been to many. \n\n\nNow for a little education for FarmTruck, gailforce_wind, and tegidfoel It is difficult to see any points of view from any of your answers. \n\nTegidfoel, needs to read more about history, and not only the “tilted” view of American secondary school books.  Have you tried reading above a 5th grade level?  Now for your comment on Technology in the US, for the most part the US is in par with the major countries, yet as far as implementing much of this, the US is about 3 to 7 years behind most of the Asian rim and European countries (examples: auto engines, cell phones, TVs, most electronics and you can find we are falling behind in computers now).  China even has the safest nuclear reactor that should scare you. Hell even Canada, just might be a little farther ahead in some areas…  So when was the last time you were out of your city limits? \n\nI have lived and worked in 17 nations. \n\nReason one not to move to the UK, the cost will eat you alive. (I have lived in London, Belfast, Edinburgh, Uckfeild and Leeds off and on between 1982 to 2000, it is hard to save money) Now that is an agreement not to live there, not because you say so, sounds so very uneducated, be clear about your option and try to find a balance with you emotions.  \n\nFarmtruck is just angry about something, go get therapy.  \n\nGailforce wind – find a back bone and look for something more substantial to read other than some one like farmtruck

Which country are you operating from? Different rules and legislation applies to varying locations. Can you be more specific???

Within the Public Sector / Health and Care / Health section of the ONS website, http://www.statistics.gov.uk/ , you'll find the best information that I could dredge up on the UK's state of play.\n\nThe Swiss equivalent, http://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/portal/en/index.html , is most likely to have their data; afraid I don't ahve time to comb it myself!\n\nHope that helps...

which parliment? there are many countries that have a governing section known as the parliment.i suppose you mean GREAT BRITAIN.. the prime minister is like the speaker of the house as in america and all member are the same. there are no congressmen or senators but just members who vote and talk about laws and what is right and what isnt. much talk is done in parliment although im not sure if anything ever gets done.much like the house and the senate here in the united states.Tony BLAIR is as good a PM as margaret thatcher was.TB is a good friend of the united states and i hope he will continue to keep on as a good friend when a new president is elected in 2 more long years
