Describe how the three branches of government in the UK are run.

In the United Kingdom, the three branches of government are the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. The executive is the central government, made up of the Prime Minister and their cabinet. The legislature is where laws are made, and includes the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Finally, the judiciary is the body made up of the courts, administered by judges of varying levels. The UK has a parliamentary system of government, which means that there is a fusion of powers between the executive and legislature. Therefore, the PM and cabinet ministers are drawn from the House of Commons, meaning that technically they are indirectly elected to the positions they hold. The government proposes laws which are then voted on in parliament. Government legislation is usually easily passed due to the regular occurence of an built majority for the governing party. Judges are appointed by the JAC and confirmed by the Prime Minister. The UK does have a Supreme Court, but unlike in the US it cannot override government legislation, as was seen with Trump's travel ban.
