The infobox refers to the executive branch, legislative branch and judicial branch. These are American concepts. Whilst the United States Government is considered to have these three branches (due to their constitution) no such terminology is used widely in the United Kingdom. Government in the UK refers to Ministers of the Crown. There are no branches of government.
I think the judicial and legislative branches be removed and the executive branch is altered and called Government. DukeLondon ( talk) 20:25, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
@ Surestam, ShootUponOpening:, please do not revert the edits by @ Chipmunkdavis:
Chipmunkdavis has deleted a temporary link made to created an article, there cannot be a WP:REDLINK so it needs to be removed until the article is created, then placed in the correct place.

A couple of IP users were having fun with the lead and I think Cluebot (and maybe some of us humans) got confused trying to disentangle their edits. I've revertd the "United Nations" link but someone with local knowledge should check the lead for any remaining discrepancies. ClaudineChionh ( talk – contribs) 12:50, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
I don't want to invoke WP:3RR, so I can't correct this again, but despite several good-faith editors inserting Rishi Sunak as PM, he has not been asked by the King as of the evening of Oct 25, and Liz Truss is still constitutionally PM. This will presumably be moot in a few hours, but, please, next time there is a change let's get it right. David Brooks ( talk) 03:11, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
