  • We don’t really do “RV”s. Our roads are narrower, and parking is a mess. We have caravans, towed behind cars, but again not very common.

    A caravan park may accommodate RVs or whatever, but mainly they are like your trailer parks, but more for recreational than residential use. Sometimes the park will have its own restaurant / bar building for refreshments.

    We have many family-friendly bars, particularly during the daytime, and at venues serving holiday resorts like this.








  • Not the same thing. MPs are classed as frontbench and backbench. The Prime Minister can employ up to 140 MPs and Lords as ministers. This is the government, and forms the frontbench of the governing party. Non-government MPs of the governing party are backbenchers.

    Both these MPs are backbenchers. They hold no office in the government, have little more influence on policy than any other member of the Labour Party.

    There are strict separations between government and Parliament, a principle known as dual sovereignty. In some areas Parliament is sovereign, and in others (such as treaties, wars, most foreign policy) the King is sovereign, delegating his power to the Cabinet. So parliamentary powers are not government powers.
