POLITICS
In democratic countries, the government is chosen in elections. People vote for a candidate. Most politicians belong to a political party. Left-wing parties support social change and equality and believe that the government should own the main industries. Right-wing parties are against social change and support the system in which industries are owned by individual people and not the state. In the United Kingdom the person who leads the government is called the Prime Minister and the people who make and change laws are called Parliament. In the United States these people are called Congress and the head of the government is the President.
