I keep receiving conflicting information about how the UK Government actually works. What is the relationship between the Monarch of the United Kingdom and Parliament? Are they both the "government"? Where does the Church of England fit in? I have an impression that the Church of England is like a government department, because it records who marries whom and who is born to whom. Who is in charge of the Church of England - the Monarch or God? How much power does the Church of England have over the people, and does it deal with sins the same way a secular government deals with crimes? Also in the news, I am aware that the UK has "elections". But who really participates in the elections? Can a member of the royal family or noble family (including the Monarch) run as Prime Minister? 50.4.236.254 ( talk) 00:53, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

The monarch and Parliament's relationship has changed substantially throughout history. Presently, the Queen is head of state, which means, just like the U.S. president, she greets foreign dignitaries, signs bills into law, and names members of the government (ministers and their deputies, known as Secretaries of State) and members of the judicial branch (the most senior of which is the Archbishop of Canterbury). The government is led by the Queen but she appoints a First Lord of the Treasury to take questions on her behalf from the lower house of parliament, which mostly comprises hostile lower and middle class citizens. The Queen calls then "commoners", hence the lower house is the House of Commons. The Queen also appoints lords to the upper house House of Lords (there are minimum property requirements to be appointed to the House of Lords and only those of noble blood can be appointed). The judicial branch is known as the Church of England and the highest judges sit in the House of Lords. These are the law lords and include the Lord Chancellor, Lord Chief Poohbah, and the Lord Chancellor. The judicial branch is also represented in the government (the Lord Chancellor is a Cabinet minister too) and as you rightly assume, is also in charge of marriage, birth, and death registration of citizens (all of whom, because the UK has a state church, are Protestants). The UK has special courts for non citizens, including Sharia Courts for Muslims, and the Royal Infidel Courts for atheists. God heads the Church of England but appoints the Queen to govern it. He appoints a monarch for a lifetime term. Unlike in the US, God does not require advice and consent when making appointments. "Elections" in the UK are for prime minister. Each constituency in the UK "elects" a potential prime minister. Then, in the House of Commons, potential prime ministers must demonstrate their potential for being a feasible underling to the Queen by debating each other hysterically once a week (this is Prime Ministers' Questions). I hope this helps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.160.82.96 ( talk) 10:29, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

1. Why is climate change denial as a movement far more prevalent in the United States compared to the rest of the world? While out article does explain that oil lobbying is a larger force in the US, the article does not explain why climate change denial, both as a movement and as a belief, is not as common in other countries, even with countries with interests in oil. Even in countries with low beliefs in anthropogenic climate change, this seems to be more due to lower levels of education than actual climate change denial lobbies.
2. Other than the Republican Party, are there any other major politicial parties worldwide which officially deny climate change? Our article only specifically mentions the Republican Party as denying climate change, while mentioning that other parties generally do not, even if individual members sometimes do.

In 2016,Wikimedia Foundation has gained a surplus of about US$16 million as it is a non profit organization.But I also feel sorry to ask this type of a question,because I am presently studying about "Not-for-profit organizations" for my Advanced Learning.If you can give instructions ,it will be a kind of assistance that I could get for my studies.

To apparently there's this company that sells blood to literal vampires [2].
My question is: when you donate blood in the US, is there a consent form of some sort that says: "Your donated blood will go towards medical or research needs"?
If there no such form then I guess there's no limit on how the donated blood is used. Scala Cats ( talk) 16:55, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
