I found chapter 2 to be very informative since I know very little about the UK government. I learned that the government is led by the Prime Minister, who is appointed by the monarch and in turn is responsible in selecting Ministers, all of which compose the cabinet. The ministers are all members of Parliament and members seek reelection every five years and advise the monarch. Parliament is divided in two houses, the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The House of Commons is the lower house of Parliament, the house the Prime Minister must answer to and maintain support from. The House of Lords is the upper house in parliament that regularly reviews bills presented in the House of Commons. Unlike the House of Commons, the House of Lords is primarily composed of high ranking clergy and members of nobility. Although the UK has a monarch, there is a clear detachment between the government and the monarchy.
The link I found is an example of the members of the Lords summarizing and overlooking the second reading to the proposal of The Water Bill which would allow UK residents to switch their water suppliers.
