The Tories were politicians favoured by royal authority and the established church, and who sought to preserve the traditional political structure. So basically, the Tories were only interested in surving the wealthy.  The House of Lords is a politcal house in which wealthy, noblemen are pretty much born into. \n\nThere is much more information so read up! GOOD LUCK!

The office of first minister goes way back to the time of Henry VIII when the monarch needed to delegate much of government to specialists. So the government was led by PMs in all but name prior to Robert Walpole by, most notably, Thomas Cromwell under Henry VIII, Robert Cecil under Elizabeth I and Sidney Godolphin under Queen Anne.\n\nWalpole is historically recognised as the first Prime Minister as we would understand the term but he and subsequent ministers refused to use the term formally for a long time afterwards. The first official recognition of the title in government documents was during the term of Disraeli and it finally replaced 'First Lord Of The Treasury'(the actual office PMs still officially and formally hold) in the order of precedence in 1905.

The first person to be officially called "Prime Minister" was Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman.  Sir Robert Walpole is generally regarded as the first Prime Minister in the modern sense, although technically it is Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, as Walpole only held the title of First Lord of the Treasury.

Although there were many aspects of the British political system that the USA did not want to copy such as the monarchy and a hereditary second chamber there were influences of British rule that were to remain such as jury trial, an independent judiciary, the voting system and freedom of the press and association. Two influences that have remained in the American system but were dying out in Britain even at the time of the Declaration of Independence were grand juries and impeachment.\n\nImpeachment, in which Crown officials (which included ministers and judges) could be tried before a committee of the House of Lords (chaired by the head of the judiciary, the Lord Chancellor) after the House of Commons had prepared and voted on an indictment and was mainly used for cases of corruption and bribery whilst in office, was fading out as ministers became more responsible to Parliament, rather than the Crown, for their actions and ministers accepted responsibility for their officials' actions.\n\nThe last major impeachment proceedings were against Warren Hastings, the Governor-General of India, who was accused of privately profiting from his official post. The trial lasted 7 years from 1788 to 1795 and among the prosecutors were Edmund Burke and the playwright, Richard Sheridan, but it was really a thinly-veiled attack on the government of Pitt the Younger who had a solid majority in the House of Lords which would never have voted to convict Hastings and the presiding officer was also a member of Pitt's Cabinet and the proceedings swiftly developed into farce along the lines of the O.J.Simpson trial.\n\nThe attempt to revive this antiquated procedure by a few Scottish & Welsh Nationalists with the support of a few Labour left-wingers arises from the fact that they lack the political support to oppose Mr Blair's foreign policy. It is also extremely undemocratic as it involves using a judicial procedure to override the doctrine of ministerial accountability to the elected chamber of the House of Commons. Before the decision to invade Iraq in March 2003 a debate was held in the House of Commons to discuss the matter and the government's policy was approved by a majority of 200 (as the opposition Conservative Party joined in supporting the government). According to subsequent reports Mr Blair made it clear that had he lost that vote, or even if less than half the number of Labour MPs had supported him (in the event slightly more than half supported him) he would have resigned. Since that vote a General Election has been held in May 2005 in which the electorate were given a chance to express their feelings about the Iraq issue (as well as other matters)and could have forced Mr Blair to stand down if they had wanted to and felt strongly enough about it. In the event, although there was some rise in support for the Liberal Democrats (although Iraq was not the only reason for this) Mr Blair was returned to power with a majority of 65 seats. 66% of the electorate voted for the two major parties which had supported the invasion of Iraq and anti-war Labour MPs suffered as big a swing against them (in some cases much larger) as pro-war Labour MPs.\n\nI agree with the Democrats who, during the impeachment of Present Clinton, argued that to remove a head of government by this method while he still retains the confidence of the electorate would be tantamount to a "legalised coup d'etat". The best and most democratic way to express dissatisfaction with a sitting Prime Minister under our system is to pass a vote of censure or no confidence in the House of Commons and the Prime Minister would then be faced with two choices, he would either have to resign, as Neville Chamberlain did after the Norway fiasco in 1940 or call a general election as James Callaghan did in 1979 (which he subsequently lost).

Queen Elizabeth II remains the head of state for Britain and many of its colonies.  Head of government is another story, however, and the monarch's command of such has been in decline since the Magna Carta of 1215. James II, deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 by Parliament, may have been the last monarch to believe he was head of government, and to have been catastrophically incorrect.

Freedom !!!!!!!!!  In the form of Democracy.   The British GOVT is OK , Prime Minister Blair really runs things well.  The Queen along with the rest of the Monarchy, is a tribute to the past, the History and what the Country symbolizes, but on a day to day of GOVT activities, Mr. Prime Minister Blair runs with it.

King George V.\n\nHe was part of the house of "Saxe-Coburg" (Queen Victoria married a German Prince) until they changed the name of the "house" to House of Windsor. This was actually due to the fact we were at war with Germany at the time and the name was changed in 1917.
