We are a constitutional monarchy with a bicameral legislative body, the lower part of which, the House of Commons, is directly elected and holds the lion's share of the power.
Elections are held at the decision of the Prime Minister of the day, who can't wait longer than five years since the last one. The country is divided into constituencies, each of which returns a single member of parliament. The party with the largest number of MPs forms the government, usually alone but very occasionally in coalitions.

Officially, the UK is a Constitutional Monarchy. This means that they have a sovereign monarch who is mainly a titular head without much real power. The real power then resides with the Prime Minister and the elected body in parliament, the House of Commons. The PM is the head of the government while the king or queen retains the Head of State as a title.
