The United Kingdom has a complex and dynamic political system shaped by its long history, constitutional monarchy, and democratic values. UK policies are influenced by both domestic priorities and international obligations, with key areas including healthcare, education, the economy, immigration, and climate change. The government, led by the Prime Minister, sets national policies which are debated and passed through Parliament. Devolved governments in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland also have the power to create policies in areas such as health and education.
