    Thanks for the explanation.

    Well gosh, I’ve had to go and read up on it too 😀

    Looks like we both have the same 3 branches, but I was wrong in thinking the house of commons and lords were 2 of those branches.

    In a perhaps slightly simplistic overview: Legislative - debates and decides the laws. Executive - executes or implements these laws in policy decisions (assigning funds to public bodies etc, setting mission statements) Judicial - interprets the laws

    Executive, Legislature and Judiciary. In the UK, the executive comprises the Crown and the Government, including the Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers. The legislature; Parliament, comprises the Crown, the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

    Also seems like the UK independence of legislature and executive branch is up to debate -https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powers_in_the_United_Kingdom
