The Government of the United Kingdom (formally Her Majesty's Government) is the central administrative body of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which comprises four countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.[1]
Mission and Purpose
The UK Government is a parliamentary democracy with a constitutional monarch.[2] The UK central government has devolved local decision-making powers to the Government of Scotland, the Welsh Government, and the Northern Ireland Executive.[3]
Responding to concerns about political disengagement in society, the UK Government has developed several mechanisms to increase civic engagement, such as transparency and information initiatives, public outreach activities, and opportunities for direct participation in Parliamentary processes.[4]
