According to the author, they provide opportunities for people to influence future government policies and to replace those incompetent political leaders.650members of parliament are elected in the general election representing 650 constituencies in the UK. The party which holds a majority of those ―seats‖ in parliament forms the government, with it‘s party leader as the prime Minister.Before a general election, the political parties would start their electoral campaigns in order to make their ideologies and policies know to the public. The campaign involves advertisements in newspaper, door-to-door campaigning, postal deliveries of leaflets and ―party electoral broadcasts‖ on the television. T he parties also try to attack and criticize the opponents‘ policies.Therefore, this campaign sometimes can be quite aggressive and critical.The voters receive a voting card to know where and when to vote once the date has been set. On the election day people go to their local voting station (school or community centre...).they give the card to the official to prove their identities and get a card with candidates‘ names listed on it. The voter takes the card into a private booth and put an ―X‖ beside the n ame of candidate of their choice. They then fold the card and take it to the sealed box beside the official and push it through a slit in the top. The counting begins when the voting closes at the end of the day. the results come out over a period of few hours and are showed on TV. Usually by the early morning it is clear which party is going to form the next government ——as soon as they have won 326 constituencies.Class In British society, people are divided into two parts: middle-class and working-class. there is a hazy area around unskilled office-work and skilled well- paid ,manual work which leads to sub-divisions :lower middle-class and upper middle-class ,and usually they get different levels of wages. most Britons(working or middle-class)go to the same kind of free public school, about 7% of the UK population attends private schools ,which are expensive ,but can give the children a better chance to go to the best universities.One distinctive feature about the class system in Britain is that it still remains a hereditary aristocracy.Race (ethnic relations in Britain)There are many immigrants lived in the UK, majority of such immigrants have arrived in the last 40 years.Two areas of the words in particular have supplied the majority of Britain‘s recent immigrants.1South Asia: India Pakistan Sri Lanka;2Caribbean countries: Jamaica TrinidadThe immigrants has take two aspect influence :1.
