How does the government work in England and Ireland compared to the U.S.?

Question

I've heard a lot of people saying lately that the current government in the U.S. is too centralized, that it is becoming comparable to n**i Germany or the Soviet Union and to I can see that. But some of these people are saying that they're better off moving to Europe, but I was just wondering what the governments is like in England and Ireland, to see if it is indeed better.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Well i know for a fact tht the government over there is just as bad if not worse. Don't listen to gunsrfunmgs last comment. Pick me as BA..

Answer 3

The Prime Minister and cabinet are answerable to Parliament, but there is almost no separation of powers between the executive and legislature in the UK, and the executive often dominates the House of Commons especially.

The executive in the US has much more power than in the United Kingdom, but the legislature is also much more powerful - which balances things out. Also, there is less centralisation in the US due to the federal structure of the states. So it's hard to say which - if any - is better.
