Britain Government Your Blog Due Today

Using the Internet: find two similarities and two differences between the government of Great Britain and the U.S. Differences:   1. The british presidents reign for life. U.S presidents reign for 4 years.                              2. Unlike the U.S president britains is called a monarch.  Simularities: 1. both have two houses.  2. Both apart of the european union.


Also find two current events relating to the British government and provide a paragraph of reflection.

#1. Of all of the sources of strategic delusion and political illusion today, nuclear weapons undoubtedly make the most prodigious contribution to hypocrisy and useless expense

#2. Unwieldy budget deficits in peripheral eurozone countries have led to calls for the European Commission to strengthen the rules governing member countries, even as stronger EU members reassess the risks and benefits of further European integration

I think both of these british current events can partially relate to some of the current events going on here in the U.S.  Both countries are trying to empower themselves more.
