What is a Democracy?

The main function of the paliment is...

•To pass laws.

•To provide by voting with the people.

•To debate the major issues of the day.

The Queen is the official Head of State. Britain has a constitutional monarchy where the Queen only rules symbolically; in reality, power belongs to Parliament. So, although the Queen 'opens' Parliament each year and laws are passed in her name, the Queen herself plays no part in determining decisions made in Parliament.
