What comparision is there between British and American Politics?

They both have a type of executive: President for the USA and Prime Minister for Britain.  They are also both representative governments.  Their legislative branch is broken down into houses--House of Lords and House of Commons--similiar to our--Senate and House of Representatives. The Prime Minister also has a Cabinet. And of course, they have the basics--exectutive, legislative, and judicial--though they are set up differently.\nThat's all I can think of.

I am guessing both are more than likely trained along the same lines. The US and British military seem to work together well, so that's what made me say that.

the uk is a political refrence it denotes england scotland wales and northern ireland.  \n\ngreat britain is a geographical one denoting the island of england wales and scotland.\n\nengland is a country.\n\nwho leaves northern ireland out they have a crap football team and as far as I know athletes from the north can generally compete as british or irish.

Well, neither of them may be great but I still consider Thatcher worse than Blair, despite everything. Remember that she also took the UK to war (okay, Argentina may have instigated it but she certainly didn't resort to diplomacy).\n\nThe Blair 'revolution' was meant to be a very exciting thing - the end of years of some of the UK's most dismal politics, a return to social democracy (or democratic socialism, or whatever). A government that, while electable, still cared about the average person and not just big business.\n\nOkay, Blair's government is not that. It's nowhere near that. It's a firmly centrist government now that actually in some ways is dismantling the social programmes that his party's reputation rests on. So you could say Blair was more of a disappointment than Thatcher, as with Thatcher you knew what to expect. But I shudder to think how far the UK would have gone down the road to strict American-style 'free market' / 'trickle-down' economics if Thatcherites had stayed in power.\n\nPut it this way: last time round, Brits went into the election griping and whining about Blair and his government, and then... did what? Re-elected them. With a majority. Reduced, everybody points out, but still a majority. Why? Nobody else to vote for.

The short answer is 'No'. I think it is hard to define what you put as "Anglo-American" powers.  Do you mean the West, or specifically England and the United States?  In any event, we must realize that neither the West nor the Islamic world is a monolithic entity.  There are widely varrying strains and currents throughout both.  From a strategic perspective, the US is unrivaled.  From an ideological perspective, there are ongoing shifts toward conservativism and fundementalism in both the West and the Arab world.  These shifts are largely reactionary to the rise of globalism.  Ultimately the historical trend toward openness and integration, driven by a global economy, will overcome zenophobic impulses in both the West and the entire Islamic world.

The main ones are Labour (currently running the country), Conservative, Liberal Democrats. There are a lot of other political parties in England, go to one of the sites of one of the parties, and it should give you some sort of .gov link to a list of others, I'm not sure if it will, but it won't hurt to try it.

I think it's quite the contrary- I think not everyone is represented as well. With the British system of goverment, when one party wins elections, typically, they run the show- they control Parliament, they have the Prime Minister in power, they have all the ministers all in one party (unless it's a coalition government which is rare).\n\nIn the US, for the past 50 years, we've had one branch in charge of congress with the other controling the White House. This has been the case maybe 35 of the past 50 years. With split control, you have more bickering, but also more compromise. Clinton's best years in office happened once the Republicans took over Congress.\n\nIf it seems that there is better representation in British Parliament than in Congress, it only seems that way because there are more parties. True, if you want to get elected to Congress, you have to be one of the two parties, but people within those two parties do have a wide variety of views.

As an American I have to add that I believe it is better for the American people that the British government  to be more leery in their support of American government.  When your government doesn't openly question my government, American and British citizens both lose.\n\nLet's face it, we have fought together in many battles, we have pledge our lives to protect each other...why can't we disagree on some issues?  Wouldn't disagreement on some issues be more healthy?

You cannot compare the party systems in our two countries. They are not defined the same way.

I would say George W Bush, but I know some Americans are going to have a go at me if I do. Apparently it's fine for Americans to have it in for their own president, but not for an English person to. I also don't like the smarmy British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

No, I don't think Americans have any dislike for the British. Also, I think it's hard to generalize the characteristics and opinions of a whole entire nation ..especially one as diverse as the United States.

All dialects of English are real English.\nIt's true that the accents are different.\nThe main difference between American and British dialects is the way they pronounce vowels.

I agree that a large part of it is national pride.  I believe Oxbridge to be a better system than the US, simply because I went though it and enjoyed it more than I think I would have done in the US.  I'm sure Americans will say exactly the same thing the other way round.\n\nAmongst unbiased opinions (national newspaper rankings etc) there's little difference, and that's probably the most accurate assessment of the situation.

If you are in the States, I believe you mean the Democrats.  Liberal is a political standpoint, like conservative.  Republican & Democrat are actually political parties.

Are you doing the UK political system at school George 'cause if so you are not paying attention. \n\nGB does not have a President, it is a hereditary consitutional monarchy fused with a parliamnetary represenative democracy.

Check out 'The War for American Independence' by Samuel Griffith II, a former USMC Brigadier General, he writes a readable informative accurate account examining opinions on both sides of the Atlantic.    One 'ugly secret' that The Republicans wish you would ignore is that America's founding Fathers (and Mothers) were -  - - LIBERALS.   \n(Yikes)  Many Englishmen/women then and now view the American Revolutionary War  as an extension of The English struggle for Liberty - - - radical notions such as a majority of the citizens having a voice in Parliament, a say on matters such as taxation, tariffs, how to conduct War and when and against who, etc.   Many Englishmen then saw a Strong Independent America as a better ally to Britain than a weak colony, a view vindicated by America's air during World War One & Two.\n\nPeace...
