Should this be a topical article like government of England, government of Scotland or government of the United States, instead of being a redirect? — Instantnood 18:04, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- I've brought this up at Talk:Her Majesty's Government. Superm401 - Talk 03:02, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- No because the UK is governed by HMG. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 16:24, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- YES because the UK is governed by Her Majesty as are Australia and Canada. and the term Her Majesty's Government should be changd to Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom like Her Majesty's Government in Canada by the Government of Canada Mr Taz (talk) 19:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Important notice
The government section of the "Outline of the United Kingdom" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.
When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process. Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.
Please check that this country's outline is not in error.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact The Transhumanist .
Thank you.
Queen/King duties?
Moved from Talk:Her Majesty's Government
What are the duties of the Queen/King of England? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.201.253.222 (talk • contribs) 10:18, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well in theory, the executive authority of the government is vested in the Sovereign. In practice, executives decisions are made by the Prime Minister and Cabinet on behalf of the monarch. The British monarch has extensive theoretical powers, but in practice is a ceremonial figurehead who acts on the advice of her ministers. Lapafrax 15:40, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- also can I add the Queen is Not the "Queen of England" she is Queen of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland " thats what the name of the Country is ! its on the front of My British Passport .....England ,Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland make up the UK they are the home nations of the UK —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.158.230.237 (talk • contribs) 22:12, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Not very much considering the last King/Queen of England died a few centuries ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.176.130.93 (talk • contribs) 15:13, 10 August 2007
History
Moved from Talk:Her Majesty's Government
I came to the article page to find out which party was in power in 1791 (the year in which a bill for the abolition of slavery was first discussed and rejected). Instead I find a somewhat cavalier description of a predominantly parliamentary institution, with no history section, and vandalism of an even more cavalier nature on the Talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.1.98.66 (talk) 06:41, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
- I agree there should be a history section. I was interested in when exactly the government came about. The Tories were in power in 1791 (Pitt the Younger)VenomousConcept (talk) 10:03, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
List?
Moved from Talk:Her Majesty's Government
Is there any page that lists the current members of the government? I know we have a list of the cabinet, but is there anywhere to find a unified list of all the junior ministers and the like? It seems like such a thing would be in order. john k (talk) 04:55, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Restructure
I think there's still some important parts missing, including:
- History
- Composition and Structure (perhaps with a diagram)
- Something on the present Government for illustration
I'm going to have a go at restructuring the article to get these sections in, any help much appreciated. Thom2002 (talk) 18:33, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
Infobox
I have removed the infobox "Government agency" from this article as its presence distorts the nature of what the "Her Majesty's Government" actually is. HMG is not an "agency", it is not even a corporate body in a legal sense; it is a collective name, and a term of art in constitutional politics.
The infobox is forcing the use of misleading or inappropriate terminology. For example, stating that the Prime Minister is the "minister responsible" completely ignores the theory and reality of both individual and collective ministerial responsibility.
It's also highly misleading to describing HMG as having "jurisdiction" in the British Overseas Territories.
Finally, the idea that HMG was "formed" in 1710 is unexplained and unsourced; on the face of it, it also seems like complete nonsense!

Britannic Majesty
The term 'Britannic Majesty' is used only in the realms of international relations to differentiate the Crown from foreign ones. As this article is regarding a national government; there is no need for it, and has thus been removed. Also, the source provided does not support the "of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", which also, is never used. GBozanko (talk) 14:04, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
Infobox presidential government
This template (Infobox presidential government) is not for this article. United Kingdom has parliamentary system with executive government. The executive is the government, not the other branches of the political system. UK has not presidential system. --IM-yb (talk) 01:19, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- JuandisCV why are you reverting IM-yb's edit? Rob984 (talk) 16:06, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
