"Prime Minister, David Cameron, answered questions from MPs in the House of Commons on Wednesday 24 October.
Starting at midday, the Prime Minister answers questions from MPs in the Commons for half an hour every Wednesday.
In most cases, the session starts with a routine 'open question' from an MP about the Prime Minister's engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
Opposition MPs follow up on this or another topic, usually led by the Leader of the Opposition, Edward Miliband. Normally, he is the only MP allowed to come back with further questions."
From the UK Parliament
I don't like everything about the United Kingdom's form of government as an American.
I don't like the fact that the voters can't directly elect their own chief executive, the voters in parties get to elect their own leaders, they do have something that looks like a primary system but. Once the General Election starts in Britain, it's up to who controls the House of Commons that decides who becomes the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the next Parliament. Whereas Americans decide for ourselves who becomes the next President in the next Congress. We directly elect our chief executive and the UK Government is too centralize for me.
Britain also doesn't have the checks and balances or separation of branches but their system seems to work for them, they don't do everything that I would do and I'm sure they believe we don't do everything they.
But I do like Prime Minister's Questions that they do in the House of Commons and getting to hear the the two main political philosophies in Britain: conservatism and socialism. And getting to hear from their Prime Minister and Opposition Leader. I think that's great for democracy, especially voters and to hear where the two main parties are on the issues in their country.
