Every four years or so we vote for one of two parties which are, in the greater scheme of things, ideologically identical. Having done our bit for democracy, we then let the civil service get on with running the country.
Seriously though, the country is divided into constituencies. The voters in each constituency vote for an MP. Each MP is entitled to a 'seat' in the house of commons. The leader of the party who win the most seats gets to play golf with George Bush.
